Red Hat SummitChapter 5. Using patch templates for remediations
The Red Hat Insights patch application supports scheduled patching cycles.
Patch templates do not affect yum/dnf operations on the host, but they allow you to refine your patch status reporting in Red Hat Insights. You can use the templates to create remediation plans and their associated playbooks for simple patch cycles.
5.1. Using patch templates with remediations
Patch templates can include one or more remediations that you want to apply to multiple systems. You can create a patch template to update a group of systems in a test environment, and use the same patch template to update systems in a production environment on a different day.
For more information about creating and using patch templates with remediations, refer to Managing system content and patch updates with Red Hat Insights.
After you apply a patch template to the systems you assign, you will not see more recently published advisories that apply to those systems. Use Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console notifications to ensure that you remain aware of newly published advisories that might affect your infrastructure.
For more information about notifications in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, see Configuring notifications on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
