Available update periods
The update period varies based on the region and edition of your bastion host. The following table describes the specific update periods, excluding non-business days.
Available update period | Region |
May 7, 2025 to July 27, 2025 | All regions on the international site (alibabacloud.com) |
Update impacts
If your bastion host is being updated, the bastion host is in the Updating Configuration state. The update process is 20 minutes, and a service interruption that lasts approximately 1 minute occurs. We recommend that you specify a custom period to update your bastion host during off-peak hours.
After the upgrade is complete, log on to the Bastionhost console or O&M portal again.
Update methods
Bastionhost displays an update window for a bastion host in the Bastionhost console. You can view the update period in the update window. If you want to modify the update period, you can click Automatically Upgrade to specify an update period or click Manually Upgrade to immediately update the bastion host. For more information, see Update Bastionhost V3.2.
Automatic update: Your bastion host is automatically updated based on the update period that is defined by Bastionhost or the update period that you specify.
Update period that is defined by Bastionhost: Bastionhost randomly selects an update period based on the available update periods.
Custom update period: You can specify a custom update period.
Manual update: You can manually update your bastion host to the latest version.
WarningThe system-defined update period may overlap with the peak hours of your business. This may affect your business. To prevent business interruptions, we recommend that you specify a custom update period during off-peak hours.
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.
If you have any questions about the version update, join the DingTalk group 33797269 and contact technical support.
