Automated Package Updates

The automatic updates are controlled in Hiera (excluding RHEL7):

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.


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.
