Workflow · v1.0.0

Patch all Linux agents

Patch every online Linux agent in this organization — or those in the given connection categories, such as a rollout ring's — with all available updates, confirm each patch run finished, and reboot only the hosts whose OS says a reboot is needed.

Use cases

  • Needs keystone/linux-agent deployed here (python tools/pack-linux-modules.py, then import and deploy linux-agent).
  • Every host it lists runs at once: a fan-out has no concurrency limit, so patch in waves by category — a rollout's rings are exactly that.

Included in packs

Each of these packs carries this workflow, so installing the pack installs it too.

  • Linux patchingLinux patch channels as a rollout kind: repository file templates and baselines that hold each ring of hosts to its mirror snapshot, patch-state checks that say whether a host has caught up, the Linux agent module, and the workflows that patch one host or a whole ring.
