Abstract

Techniques are described for automatically scheduling and performing upgrades in a hybrid cloud scenario. Advantages to these techniques include revision safe system upgrades and that the process is automated, thus reducing expensive operation costs. Techniques include receiving a landscape model describing changes to a customer landscape, identifying a customer-side system within a customer landscape to upgrade based on the landscape model, and identifying a server-side system within the server landscape that is associated with the customer-side system, and scheduling the customer-side system and the server-side system for upgrade.
