Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system for improving the user experience in the face of a regression by returning resources that offer a service to a “last known good” upgrade. In other words, the state of the resources is reconfigured to scale back from recent upgrade(s), the deployments of which likely caused the regression, to a previous upgrade that is known to have little or no effect on the user experience. To identify a problem, the system collects performance data from different resource units that make up a cloud-based platform. The performance data is collected for each upgrade event in a sequence of upgrade events that are currently deployed or being deployed. The system continually tracks and analyzes qualification data collected for each of the deployed upgrade events. The system can tag an upgrade event as the last known good upgrade event when the collected qualification data satisfies predefined qualifications.
