AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager now makes it easier for you to create patch compliance reports by providing a catalog of all patches released for Amazon Linux and Amazon Linux 2. You can now view a list of all released patches for Amazon Linux and Amazon Linux 2 even if those patches are not applicable to your fleet based on your patch rules. Further, you can view additional details such as severity, release date, and vulnerability identifier (CVE-ID) for patches in the catalog.
To get started, open the AWS Systems Manager console, choose “Patch Manager” in the navigation pane, and navigate to the “Patches” tab to view catalog of released patches for Amazon Linux and Amazon Linux 2, in addition to Windows.
This feature is available at no additional charge in all AWS Regions where AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager is supported, excluding AWS China (Beijing & Ningxia) Regions. For more details about Patch Manager, see the AWS Systems Manager product page and documentation.
