Hybrid patching just got better with AWS [037/100]

Описание: The video explains how AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager has improved for hybrid environments, letting you manage OS and software patches across AWS EC2, on‑prem servers, edge devices, and other clouds from a single AWS control plane.

What “hybrid patching” means
Hybrid patching refers to using AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) and Hybrid Activations to register on‑prem or non‑AWS machines as “managed instances,” then applying the same patching policies, baselines, and maintenance windows as you do for EC2.

Key capabilities covered
Patch Manager dashboard: Shows patch compliance across EC2 and on‑prem nodes, including missing patches and reasons for non‑compliance.

Patch baselines: Predefined and custom rules that decide which patches are approved, how quickly they’re auto‑approved, and which patches are rejected.

Patch groups and maintenance windows: Group instances (EC2 + on‑prem) into patch groups and schedule scans or patch deployments during maintenance windows to reduce impact.

Automated workflows: Using Lambda, Organizations‑based patch policies, and QuickSight dashboards to automate patching across multiple accounts, Regions, and hybrid nodes.
