Windows Patching for Managed Cloud Servers
Windows Patching for Managed Cloud Servers
All Managed Cloud Windows patches come from Microsoft and are tested in house before being deployed to the servers.
| Distribution | Patching | Mechanism | Patching Server(s) | Frequency | Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 2008 R2 | WSUS | microsoftupdate.[dc].rackspace.corp | Nightly between 1AM and 5AM | Windows Patching Portal |
The patches are deployed to the server generally three weeks after Microsoft releases the patches. Our internal team tests the patches before they are released. The Windows servers themselves check daily for updates, but the WSUS servers only release patches once a month. Additional information can be found in the FAQ and Windows Patching Portal.
