Tagging Resources for Patching
We apply tagging to your instances to capture them and the services running on them for inclusion in our Patching service. Tagging lets you assign metadata to resources in the form of tags. Each tag is a simple label consisting of a user or SoftwareOne-defined key and an optional value that can make it easier to manage, search for, and filter resources. Tags can be applied individually on the source server level. Each tag applied on the server level is assigned to the target instance and the storage volume(s) attached to that instance.
The following table provides information about the tagging and values that we apply to your resources, to include them in, or exclude them from the Patching service.
Tag | Description |
swoPatch | Used to identify if a resource is included in the Patching service, and to identify the Patch Wave to include the resource in. Possible values: 0–Do not patch this system. The patch wave definition can be customized during initial onboarding or by raising a Service Request in BAU. Your patch wave definitions are recorded in your Operations Definitions page. |
