The Linux Patching Pack

Supervised OS updates run per VM inside a maintenance window you define — pre-update snapshot, apt/dnf/zypper execution, post-update verification and a change log.

This is ongoing supervised patching, priced per VM: a pre-update snapshot is taken as a mandatory safety step, updates are executed with apt, dnf, or zypper depending on your distribution, and the result is verified before the ticket closes. You define the maintenance window and cadence — daily or weekly — and updates run inside it rather than on our own schedule. Every run produces a change log entry, and the snapshot means a rollback path exists if an update causes a problem. Bundles are available for 10, 25, 50, or 100 VMs, so the per-VM rate applies whether you're covering a handful of servers or a full fleet. This suits infrastructure where patching is necessary but repetitive, and where you'd rather have it supervised and logged on a schedule than done ad hoc whenever someone remembers.

What's included

  • Pre-update snapshot taken before every patch run (mandatory)
  • Update execution via apt, dnf, or zypper as appropriate
  • Post-update verification before the run is marked complete
  • Change log entry for every patch cycle
  • Daily or weekly cadence, per your defined maintenance window
  • Bundle availability across 10, 25, 50, or 100 VMs

FAQ

How does delivery work for a per-VM patching service?
This isn't a one-off task delivered against a fixed clock — patch runs happen inside the maintenance window you define, on your chosen daily or weekly cadence. The quoted rate is per VM per run; larger fleets are covered under the same per-VM pricing.
What happens if an update breaks something?
A snapshot is taken before every run specifically so a rollback path exists. This is a mandatory step, not an optional add-on.
Can we cover a large fleet under this?
Yes — bundle tiers exist for 10, 25, 50, or 100 VMs, all priced on the same per-VM basis.
Who sets the maintenance window?
You do. Patch runs are scheduled to your defined window and cadence, not ours.
