interface
• Complete
• end-to-end orchestration of patching using patch plans
• automated selection of deployment procedures
• analysis of the patch conflicts
• minimal manual effort is required.
• Clear division of responsibilities (Roles)
• Designers - focus on creating patch plans, testing them on a test system, and
saving them as patch templates
• Operators - focus on creating patch plans out of the template for rolling out
the patches on a production system
