Listing Available Updates

View updates that can be applied to an instance in Autonomous Linux.

Available updates are within the contexts of the software sources attached to an instance. An instances showing as 'up-to-date' doesn't necessary mean the instances is running the latest updates issued by the OS vendor. It means that Autonomous Linux has applied all available patches from the currently attached sources. For example, if the instance uses a custom software source that doesn't auto-update, the instance might not have the latest updates from the OS vendor, but does have all available patches installed from the attached custom software source.

1. On the Instances list page, select the name of the instance. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Instances.
2. Under Resources, select Updates.
