Viewing available patches - AWS Systems Manager

With Patch Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, you can view all available patches for a specified operating system and, optionally, a specific operating system version.

Tip

To generate a list of available patches and save them to a file, you can use the describe-available-patches command and specify your preferred output.

To view available patches

  1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Patch Manager.

  3. Choose the Patches tab.

    -or-

    If you are accessing Patch Manager for the first time in the current AWS Region, choose Start with an overview, and then choose the Patches tab.

    Note

    For Windows Server, the Patches tab displays updates that are available from Windows Server Update Service (WSUS).

  4. For Operating system, choose the operating system for which you want to view available patches, such as Windows or Amazon Linux.

  5. (Optional) For Product, choose an OS version, such as WindowsServer2019 or AmazonLinux2018.03.

  6. (Optional) To add or remove information columns for your results, choose the configure button ( The icon to view configuration settings. ) at the top right of the Patches list. (By default, the Patches tab displays columns for only some of the available patch metadata.)

    For information about the types of metadata you can add to your view, see Patch in the AWS Systems Manager API Reference.
