Deployed on AWS
Automated SQL Server cumulative update (CU) patching for AWS EC2. Pre-flight validation, one-click installs, post-patch verification, and full audit trail across all your SQL Server instances, without writing a script.
Overview
PatchPilot by ZeroDBA automates SQL Server cumulative update (CU) patching on AWS EC2 instances, eliminating manual patch cycles, reducing risk, and keeping your SQL Server fleet compliant without writing a single script. Built for DBAs and managed service providers (MSPs) managing SQL Server fleets on AWS.
HOW IT WORKS PatchPilot deploys a lightweight cross-account IAM role in your AWS account (via CloudFormation). From there it uses AWS Systems Manager to discover all SQL Server instances, assess their current patch level against the latest Microsoft CUs, and execute targeted installs with full pre/post validation and audit logging.
PatchPilot never touches your data. It only reads SQL Server version metadata and executes the Microsoft-signed CU installer. Your EC2 instances remain entirely in your control.
KEY FEATURES
- Automated discovery of all SQL Server instances on EC2
- Compliance dashboard showing current vs. target build per instance
- Job plan workflow with approval gate before any patch is applied
- Maintenance window scheduling to restrict patching to approved hours
- Full audit trail for every patch action (who approved, when it ran, before/after builds)
- Batch patching across multiple instances with a single operation

Dimensions summary
PatchPilot uses four plans priced by how many SQL Server hosts you run on AWS EC2. The plans scale by host count: Starter covers up to 5 hosts, Growth up to 15, and Pro up to 40. Each higher plan adds capabilities on top of the one below it. The Enterprise Plan removes the host cap and covers unlimited hosts, with custom pricing you arrange directly with the seller. You pick the plan that matches your fleet size, then upgrade as your host count grows.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A host is one EC2 node running SQL Server. Each node counts once toward your plan limit, no matter how many SQL Server instances run on it. The discovery dialog shows your current host count against your plan's limit when you add nodes.
PatchPilot prevents you from adding nodes beyond your plan's host cap. When you try to add a node, the discovery dialog shows your current count versus the limit. To cover more hosts, you upgrade to a plan with a higher cap, or move to the Enterprise Plan for unlimited hosts.
They do both. Growth adds bulk patching, maintenance window scheduling, and job approval workflows over Starter. Pro adds priority support and advanced compliance reporting over Growth. Enterprise adds full platform access with dedicated AI support and removes the host cap entirely.
