Applying non critical updates update#

When resizing down, the autoscaler preferentially terminates instances with the old template as well as instances that are not yet in a RUNNING state. A noncritical sensitive position has the potential to cause.

Applying non critical updates update#

For example, if you have a non-critical update that can be applied as necessary without any urgency and you have a MIG that is actively being autoscaled, perform an opportunistic update so that Compute Engine does not actively tear down your existing instances to apply the update. Risk has to do with a positions potential to damage the publics trust in the Federal Government. In certain scenarios, an opportunistic update is useful because you don't want to cause instability to the system if it can be avoided. After successfully remediating an ESXi 7.0 against the 'Non-critical Host Patches (Predefined)' baseline in VLCM, it is still reported as non-compliant due to missing intel-nvme-vmd VIBs. Compute Engine does not actively initiate requests to apply opportunistic updates. Ive left it on overnight and wake up to it displaying the same thing. A MIG creates new instances when it is resized to add instances, either automatically or manually. So basically for the past 2 days its been saying 'Applying non critical updates'. When the update type is set to OPPORTUNISTIC, the MIG applies updates only when you selectively apply the update to specific instances or when new instances are created by the MIG. Below check the below extract from google documentation. While applying fixes from the errata page typically requires less time than a CVS checkout/update and rebuild, there is no universal set of instructions to. 1 Reply CedricAnto VMware Employee 05-29-2014 08:19 AM To answer your question, No, its not needed to push non-critical patches, but if you have a downtime you might as well push all patches.
