In this challenge, you will configure patch management by using the Patch Manager capability in AWS Systems Manager. First, you will view the predefined baselines for managing patches, and then you will create new baselines for Windows Server and Amazon Linux systems. Next, you will organize Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) instances into patch groups, and then you will scan for compliance. Finally, you will install any missing patches in the instances in the patch group, and then you will review the patch management dashboard and reporting information. Note: Once you begin the challenge lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge lab before you start.
