Abstract
Optimum software update transmission parameters are determined and used for transmitting a software update from a host to servers of a computer network. The software update is transmitted while the servers are live and required to meet certain quality of service requirements for tenants of the computer network. Transmission parameters for transmitting the software update are adjusted and updated based on service performance data. Based on iterative adjustments, optimum transmission parameters may be determined. Additionally or alternatively, machine learning is used to generate a model that determines predicted optimum transmission parameters. The predicted optimum transmission parameters may be initially used for transmitting a software update, while the transmission parameters continue to be adjusted throughout transmission.
