Claim 20:
21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for managing a multi-node cluster compute environment, the instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computerized device, performance of operations comprising:
receiving an input from at least one user process, the at least one user process not being part of the multi-node compute environment;
based at least on the received input, creating a first system job, the first system job comprising performance of one or more actions which are necessary for performance of subsequent actions by one or more other system jobs, the one or more actions (i) not being execution of compute workload and (ii) which are not limited to use of one or more prescribed nodes allocated to a compute workload by a compute workload scheduler of the multi-node compute environment; and
performing the one or more actions by execution of the first system job,
wherein the first system job and the one or more other system jobs each comprise rolling maintenance tasks, and the one or more actions which are necessary for performance of subsequent actions by one or more other system jobs comprise completion of one or more software updates on one node of the multi-node cluster compute environment, the one or more updates which are necessary for the subsequent actions of performing the one or more updates on others of the nodes of the multi-node cluster compute environment.
