acquire a first platform node upgrade package that meets the version requirement, wherein the first platform node upgrade package is acquired according to the version requirement of the first platform node template required by the node template of the to-be-deployed application;

upgrade the first platform node indicated by the first platform node identifier using the first platform node upgrade package;

determine an identifier of a to-be-upgraded application node; and

upgrade the application node after the first platform node is upgraded, wherein the application node is indicated by the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the first platform node upgrade package acquired is maintained by the application deployment server.

3. The system according to claim 1, with the application deployment request further comprising a relationship template describing the node template of the to-be-deployed application and including an upgrade identifier, or with the application deployment request further comprising a node type implementation corresponding to the node template of the to-be-deployed application and including the upgrade identifier.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the determining the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node comprises determining one or all identifiers of one or all application nodes corresponding to the node template identifier of the deployed application.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the determining the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node comprises:

when the application deployment request does not comprise an identifier of an application node, the application deployment server determines all application nodes identifiers, corresponding to the node template identifier of the deployed application, as the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node;

or

when the application deployment request further comprises at least one deployed application node identifiers, the determining the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node comprises;

determining the at least one deployed application node identifiers as the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein:

before the upgrading the first platform node indicated by the first platform node identifier, the user equipment is further configured to;

acquire, according to the deployed application identifier, a stored description file of the deployed application;

determine, according to the acquired description file, that the description file describes a second platform node template that uses the first platform node template as a source node template;

acquire a version requirement of a second platform node required by the upgraded first platform node for a second platform node and acquire a second platform node version of the second platform node; and

determine that the second platform node version is below the version requirement of the second platform node required by the upgraded first platform node;

before the upgrading of the first platform node using the first platform node upgrade package, the application deployment server is further configured to;

acquire, in response to the determination that the version of the second platform node is below the version requirement of the second platform node required by the upgraded first platform node, a second platform node upgrade package that meets the version requirement; and

upgrade the second platform node according to the second platform node upgrade package.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions for upgrading an application, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

receiving an application deployment request, with the application deployment request comprising;

a node template of the to-be-deployed application;

a deployed application identifier of a deployed application to be upgraded by the to-be-deployed application;

a node template identifier of a node template of the deployed application;

a first platform node template identifier of a first platform node template; and

a version requirement of the first platform node template required by the node template of the to-be-deployed application;

acquiring, according to the deployed application identifier, a first platform node identifier of a first platform node corresponding to the first platform node template identifier and acquiring a version of the first platform node indicated by the first platform node identifier;

wherein the to-be-deployed application runs based on a capability provided by the first platform node, and wherein the first platform node is deployed according to the first platform node template prior to the to-be-deployed application;

determining that the version of the first platform node is below the version requirement of the first platform node template;

acquiring a first platform node upgrade package that meets the version requirement, wherein the first platform node upgrade package is acquired according to the version requirement of the first platform node template required by the node template of the to-be-deployed application;

upgrading the first platform node indicated by the first platform node identifier using the first platform node upgrade package;

determining an identifier of a to-be-upgraded application node; and

upgrading the application node after the first platform node is upgraded, wherein the application node is indicated by the identifier of the to-be-upgraded application node, and wherein the application node is upgraded using the deployment package carried in the application deployment request of the to-be-deployed application.

8. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein the first platform node upgrade package acquired is maintained locally.
