Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM)

2020/02/04 - Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM) - 3 updated api methods

Changes  This feature ensures that an instance is patched up to the available patches on a particular date. It can be enabled by selecting the 'ApproveUntilDate' option as the auto-approval rule while creating the patch baseline. ApproveUntilDate - The cutoff date for auto approval of released patches. Any patches released on or before this date will be installed automatically.

type OperatingSystem

string

param OperatingSystem

Defines the operating system the patch baseline applies to. The Default value is WINDOWS.

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the patch baseline.

type GlobalFilters

dict

param GlobalFilters

A set of global filters used to include patches in the baseline.

  • PatchFilters (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The set of patch filters that make up the group.

    • (dict) --

      Defines which patches should be included in a patch baseline.

      A patch filter consists of a key and a set of values. The filter key is a patch property. For example, the available filter keys for WINDOWS are PATCH_SET, PRODUCT, PRODUCT_FAMILY, CLASSIFICATION, and MSRC_SEVERITY. The filter values define a matching criterion for the patch property indicated by the key. For example, if the filter key is PRODUCT and the filter values are ["Office 2013", "Office 2016"], then the filter accepts all patches where product name is either "Office 2013" or "Office 2016". The filter values can be exact values for the patch property given as a key, or a wildcard (*), which matches all values.

      You can view lists of valid values for the patch properties by running the DescribePatchProperties command. For information about which patch properties can be used with each major operating system, see DescribePatchProperties.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The key for the filter.

        Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid keys for each operating system type.

param ApprovalRules

A set of rules used to include patches in the baseline.

  • PatchRules (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The rules that make up the rule group.

      Defines an approval rule for a patch baseline.

      • PatchFilterGroup (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

        The patch filter group that defines the criteria for the rule.

        • PatchFilters (list) -- [REQUIRED]

          The set of patch filters that make up the group.

          • (dict) --

              • (string) --

      • ComplianceLevel (string) --

        A compliance severity level for all approved patches in a patch baseline. Valid compliance severity levels include the following: Unspecified, Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational.

      • ApproveAfterDays (integer) --

        The number of days after the release date of each patch matched by the rule that the patch is marked as approved in the patch baseline. For example, a value of 7 means that patches are approved seven days after they are released.

      • ApproveUntilDate (string) --

        The cutoff date for auto approval of released patches. Any patches released on or before this date will be installed automatically

      • EnableNonSecurity (boolean) --

The action for Patch Manager to take on patches included in the RejectedPackages list.

  • ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY : A package in the Rejected patches list is installed only if it is a dependency of another package. It is considered compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as InstalledOther . This is the default action if no option is specified.

  • BLOCK : Packages in the RejectedPatches list, and packages that include them as dependencies, are not installed under any circumstances. If a package was installed before it was added to the Rejected patches list, it is considered non-compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as InstalledRejected .

type Description

string

param Description

A description of the patch baseline.

type Sources

list

param Sources

Information about the patches to use to update the instances, including target operating systems and source repositories. Applies to Linux instances only.

param ClientToken

User-provided idempotency token.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type Tags

list

param Tags

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a patch baseline to identify the severity level of patches it specifies and the operating system family it applies to. In this case, you could specify the following key name/value pairs:

  • Key=PatchSeverity,Value=Critical

  • Key=OS,Value=Windows

Note

To add tags to an existing patch baseline, use the AddTagsToResource action.

  • (dict) --

    Metadata that you assign to your AWS resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Systems Manager, you can apply tags to documents, managed instances, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the tag.

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The value of the tag.

The name of the patch baseline.

type GlobalFilters

dict

param GlobalFilters

A set of global filters used to include patches in the baseline.

  • PatchFilters (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The set of patch filters that make up the group.

    • (dict) --

      Defines which patches should be included in a patch baseline.

      A patch filter consists of a key and a set of values. The filter key is a patch property. For example, the available filter keys for WINDOWS are PATCH_SET, PRODUCT, PRODUCT_FAMILY, CLASSIFICATION, and MSRC_SEVERITY. The filter values define a matching criterion for the patch property indicated by the key. For example, if the filter key is PRODUCT and the filter values are ["Office 2013", "Office 2016"], then the filter accepts all patches where product name is either "Office 2013" or "Office 2016". The filter values can be exact values for the patch property given as a key, or a wildcard (*), which matches all values.

      You can view lists of valid values for the patch properties by running the DescribePatchProperties command. For information about which patch properties can be used with each major operating system, see DescribePatchProperties.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The key for the filter.

        Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid keys for each operating system type.

      • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        The value for the filter key.

        Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid values for each key based on operating system type.

        • (string) --

type ApprovalRules

dict

param ApprovalRules

A set of rules used to include patches in the baseline.

  • PatchRules (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The rules that make up the rule group.

    • (dict) --

      Defines an approval rule for a patch baseline.

      • PatchFilterGroup (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

        The patch filter group that defines the criteria for the rule.

        • PatchFilters (list) -- [REQUIRED]

          The set of patch filters that make up the group.

        A compliance severity level for all approved patches in a patch baseline. Valid compliance severity levels include the following: Unspecified, Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational.

      • ApproveAfterDays (integer) --

        The number of days after the release date of each patch matched by the rule that the patch is marked as approved in the patch baseline. For example, a value of 7 means that patches are approved seven days after they are released.

      • ApproveUntilDate (string) --

  • BLOCK : Packages in the RejectedPatches list, and packages that include them as dependencies, are not installed under any circumstances. If a package was installed before it was added to the Rejected patches list, it is considered non-compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as InstalledRejected .
