This objective deals with the various methods you can use for managing software updates for
your organization's private cloud deployment. The most basic method of managing soft-
ware updates is to use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). In a Microsoft private cloud
environment, you are likely to use both Configuration Manager and VMM, both integrated
with WSUS, to manage updates. You use VMM to manage updates for the servers involved in
the virtualization infrastructure, and Configuration Manager to manage the updates for the
virtual machines running within the private cloud.
This section covers the following topics:
■
Managing updates with WSUS
■
Managing updates with Configuration Manager
■
Integrating WSUS with VMM
■
Updating offline VMs
WSUS is a Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 role service that allows you to
manage and deploy Microsoft operating system and application updates. Rather than having
each computer in your organization connect over the Internet to acquire software updates,
you can configure a server with the WSUS role installed to acquire these updates, and then to
serve as a central distribution point. You can also integrate the WSUS role with Configuration
Manager and with VMM, topics that are covered later in this section.
