A Patch Baseline, Its Patch Group and a Maintenance Window that Installs

A patch baseline that approves security patches after a delay, the patch group that binds instances to it by tag, and a maintenance window that runs AWS-RunPatchBaseline on a schedule with the output in CloudWatch. Install rather than Scan (scan-only by name), RebootIfNeeded, and unapproved security updates counted as non-compliant so the approval delay shows on the dashboard.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Patch Management on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
