Abstract
Example implementations relate to a upgrade of a host that hosts application units of a container-based application. According to an example, monitoring is performed to identify new system software component availability for the cluster. When a new system software component is available, a historical workload pattern of the cluster is analyzed to identify an upgrade window for each host of the cluster. When the upgrade window arrives for a host, it is determined whether reconfiguration of an application is to be performed based on a capacity of the cluster. When the determination is affirmative, a reconfiguration option for the application is identified and a configuration of the application is adjusted accordingly. The host may then be drained, removed from the cluster, upgraded, added back into the cluster and any application configuration changes can be reversed.
