## Automated Package Updates
The automatic updates are controlled in Hiera:
| Hiera key | default | comments |
|-----------------------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| base::automatic_updates::interval | weekly | valid are `daily`, `weekly` and `never` which disables the automatic updates |
| base::automatic_updates::type | security | `security` installs only security updates whereas `all` installs all updates |
| base::automatic_updates::exclude | [] | list of packages not to update, wildcards like "*" are allowed |
| base::automatic_updates::kernel | false | define if new kernel packages also should be installed automatically |
Note that the updates run on midnight, for `weekly` from Sunday to Monday. There is no automatic reboot, e.g. for kernel updates.
