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