Creating a Patch Baseline

Patch Baseline allows you to customize the rules for scanning and installing patches. Only patches that are compliant with the baseline can be scanned and repaired.

You can create patch baselines for ECS instances or CCE instances as required.

Cloud Operations Center has provided the public patch baselines of all OSs as the preset patch baseline when ECSs are used initially. Patch baseline for CCE instances needs to be manually created.

Scenarios

Create a patch baseline on Cloud Operations Center.

Procedure

  1. Log in to COC.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource O&M. On the displayed page, click Patch management.
  3. On the displayed page, click Patch Baseline to view the baseline list.

    You can customize the version and release number of a baseline path. Only the patches that match the customized baseline patch can be scanned and installed.

    1. A maximum of 1,000 baseline patches can be uploaded for a baseline.
    2. The patch name can contain a maximum of 200 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), dots (.), asterisks (*), and plus signs (+).
    3. The data in the second column consists of the version number (including letters, digits, underscores, dots, and colons) and the release number (including letters, digits, underscores, and dots) that are separated by a hyphen (-). Both two types of numbers can contain a maximum of 50 characters.
