In our PaaS solution, we use features of AWS cloud services to create a comprehensive process of automatically scanning multiple EC2 instances for missing security patches and applying corresponding updates to ensure continuous protection.
Our PaaS architecture leverages the functionality of AWS Systems Manager to scan instances for necessary updates and apply the latest patches automatically. The use of AWS Systems Manager as a task automation component minimizes manual interventions and optimizes maintenance costs.
Automated instance patching is performed as a rule-based process according to a predefined schedule. A dedicated Lambda function in the customer’s account scans target EC2 instances to identify missing patches, which are then applied automatically by AWS Systems Manager.
The PaaS solution by Intellias and AWS takes patching efficiency to the next level by eliminating the need for manual operations and automatically detecting missing patches in software systems of any size and complexity.
