Managing patches
Use Puppet Enterprise to configure patching node groups to meet
your needs, view available operating system patches for your nodes in the console, and apply
patches using the pe_patch::patch_server
task.
-
To enable patch management, create a node group for nodes you want to patch and add the node group to the PE Patch Management parent node group.
-
After configuring patch management, you can start applying patches to nodes. The
patch_server
task enables simply applying patches, while thegroup_patching
plan performs health checks before and after patches are applied.
