equivalent of WUFB but for a server OS

Question

Hello,

I actually manage Window servers 2019 updates using a WSUS.

I heard that WUFB (Windows Update for Business) exist for device like windows 11 laptops but is there an equivalent to manage windows servers 2019 updates without having a Wsus server allowing update to be installed regarding setting similar to WUFB ?

In fact, the question can be equivalent to,
How to manage windows servers 2019 updates installation by waves without WSUS ?

Best regards,
