Enterprise customers often run large number of EC2 instances. Patching these large quantities of instances manually takes a long time and there is a scope for mistakes which is why companies prefer automating the process.

This is where customers can utilize features of Systems Manager like SSM Patch Manager, Maintenance windows and Patch Group to automate patching of their EC2 instances and minimize downtime. Join Zaiba as she dissects an end-to-end architecture that leverages SSM Patch Manager to automate patching your EC2 instances.
