Bastionhost supports manual and automatic updates. This topic describes how to update a bastion host.
Description
- After a new version of Bastionhost is released, the Bastionhost console displays New Version in the Version section. To prevent business interruptions, we recommend that you specify a custom update period during which the impact of an update is minimized.
- If you do not manually update your bastion host and you do not specify a custom update period for your bastion host, your bastion host is automatically updated during the update period that is determined by Bastionhost.
Warning If your bastion host is being updated, the bastion host is in the Updating Configuration state. The update process is approximately 20 minutes and your business may be interrupted for a few seconds. We recommend that you specify off-peak hours to update your bastion host.
