Abstract
Applying failure policy during updating of components, including receiving metadata of each of the components, the metadata indicating a respective classification of each of the components; sorting the components based on the metadata, including identifying a first subset of the components as critical components and a second subset of the components as non-critical components; receiving a first update package for a first component; detecting a failure to apply the first update package to the first component; in response to detecting the failure to apply the first update package to the first component: determining that the first component belongs to the first subset of components; in response to determining that the first component belongs to the first subset of components, identifying a remediation policy associated with critical components; applying the remediation policy to the first component, including rollback of the first update package at the first component.
