摘要

Methods and apparatus to generate a shadow setup based on a cloud environment and upgrade the shadow setup to identify upgrade-related errors are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a topology deployment determiner to deploy a shadow setup corresponding to a replica version of a live cloud environment; an upgrade coordinator to upgrade one or more components of the shadow setup; and a reporter to generate a report corresponding to the upgrade.
