Abstract
Examples described herein include systems and methods for efficiently and effectively applying upgrade bundles to an SDDC. The upgrade bundles can update various software components of the SDDC. A version-compliance configuration matrix provides version-compliance information across various software components to ensure that all components function properly after upgrading. Each upgrade bundle can include metadata that provides information sufficient to utilize the configuration matrix. A super bundle can include multiple upgrade bundles, as well as instructions for applying the multiple upgrade bundles in a particular order to avoid compatibility issues. The super bundle can be used to upgrade multiple software components of an SDDC without disrupting the functionality of the SDDC.
