Abstract
Techniques are provided for managing system upgrades in a network computing environment. For example, a method includes managing an upgrade of a system within a cluster of systems which communicate in a network computing environment system to implement a distributed application. The system performs an upgrade operation to upgrade a current version of the system to a new software version number which comprises a new feature. The system performs a cluster version update process to communicate with other systems in the cluster to determine a cluster version number of the cluster. The system enables the new feature of the new software version if the new software version number is not greater than the determined cluster version number of the cluster.
