Distribution and execution of instructions in a distributed computing environment
摘要
說明書
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the above disclosed methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture enable deployment of instructions to component servers via management agents. In some examples, the management agent is separate from an instruction executor of the component server. In this manner, the instruction executor can execute instructions that affect the operation(s) of the management agent. For example, the instruction executor may execute an instruction that causes the management agent to become updated and/or upgraded. Such functionality alleviates the need for a user (e.g., an administrator) to manually update each management agent of each component server. Such an approach is beneficial because, through the use of distributed execution of such installations, upgrades can be completed in a more timely fashion as compared to manual installation of an upgrade. In this manner, hundreds or thousands of management agents, for example, can rapidly be upgraded.
