Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products are described herein that can be used to help achieve a safe rollout of software in a production datacenter environment. In accordance with certain embodiments, cloud services requests from certain users of a cloud services system (e.g., users that are authorized to receive cloud services via computing devices running test versions of infrastructure software) are dynamically matched to clusters (groups of commonly-managed computing devices called nodes) that are capable of providing the requested services on nodes running test versions of infrastructure software. Within such clusters, the requested services are provided to the users on a subset of cluster nodes that run a test version of an infrastructure software component, while the remaining cluster nodes are not running the particular test version.
