I'm in the process of exploring AWS SSM to apply Patches on multiple AWS accounts. I was able to implement this successfully using respective AWS documents. During my implementation process, I used AWS-RunPatchBaseline document to update my linux instances.
This completely works fine. Post patch installation the instance reboots. The use case which i'm trying to achieve is:
- Instance should not reboot after installing patches. I tried to alter the document to disable reboot process, which did not help me. Also, checked with Amazon Support, they still in the process getting a fix for my request.
Does one have answer for this, either through using a custom document or by modifying the existing document?
Thanks, Vick
As per amazon we cannot stop or suspend the reboot post patching which is not advisable. However, Amazon is working on a feature request to suspend instance reboot. Wish it happens soon.
