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;

acquiring a version of the first platform node indicated by the first platform node identifier, wherein the to-be-upgraded application depends on a capability provided by the first platform node, and wherein the first platform node is deployed according to the first platform node template;

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-upgraded 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 an 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.
