8-Hour Live Training

Master Patch Management
With Azure Update Manager

Patching hundreds of servers manually doesn't scale. Build the infrastructure and processes that let you patch at scale with ease.

Taught by Someone
Who Manages Updates at Scale

Your trainer has been managing patch compliance across hybrid environments since Azure Update Manager's inception - from WSUS replacements to enterprise-wide maintenance windows.

  • Microsoft MVP: Deep expertise in Azure Automation, hybrid-cloud management, and security since 2010.
  • Production experience: Implemented Azure Update Manager across enterprise hybrid environments at scale.
  • Maintenance configurations: Deployed dynamic scoping and automated patching across thousands of servers.
  • Azure Arc foundation: Built the hybrid infrastructure foundation that Update Manager depends on.

Patch compliance isn't about running updates.
It's about controlling when, where, and how updates happen without breaking production.

8 hours. One day.
Stop patching servers manually.
