Baselines for patching Linux VMs in Update Manager

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to set up patching baselines for Linux VMs in Azure Update Manager? Or any reliable workaround for it?

Tadas Urbutis When you mention baseline patching, I assume you want to create a baseline of patches that should be applied to your virtual machines, and then apply the baseline to one or more virtual machines. You can use Maintenance configuration within Azure Update Manager. Dynamic scope allows you to select the virtual machines you want to apply for. And updates section of maintenance configurations allows you to select the packages or KB IDs that need to be included or excluded. Let me know if you have any further questions.
