base::automatic_updates::exclude |

Note that the updates run on midnight, for weekly from Sunday to Monday. There is no automatic reboot, e.g. for kernel updates.
Important
There will be no updates if you fix the package source to a snapshot/repo tag i.e. rpm_repos::tag or yum_client::repo_tag setting in Hiera point to a specfic snapshot.
