Abstract: A system, for example, a multi-tenant system performs upgrades of database management systems deployed on a cloud platform. The database management system is stored on the cloud platform in a data storage unit for storing data of the database, and an instructions storage unit for storing executable instructions. A cloud platform image comprising instructions for the database management system is received. A cloud platform image is deployed on a new instructions storage unit. An upgraded database management system is built by providing the new instructions storage unit with access to the data storage unit. In an embodiment, the database management system is used by a multi-tenant system and stores a multi-tenant schema. The structure of the multi-tenant schema is defined using a multi-tenant schema template that is included in the instructions storage unit.
