Monthly security update check procedure
by okram_ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#JHGZ)
Hi,
I started using the EC2 instances on AWS from our own datacenter. The instances are running CentOS6.6. And i am trying to figure out a process for checking and updating any security patches periodically, like once a month (if nothing serious is announced).
To do this, is running this command to check for security updates enough?
yum --security check-update
i plan to update if any security updates are prompted by the above command output.
The instances have the centOS repo and epel repos.
