HyperFlex with Hyper-V and Windows Updates

[zaleski.krzysztof]

Hello,

What is the best practice or Cisco recommendation regarding automatic (or manual) Windows updates for Hyper-V running on HyperFlex? Should I update Windows every time new update appears or it's better to avoid them? I have seen some recommendations for example for Contact Center to never run Windows Update, but it poses a security rist, although those environments are urually installed in clused environments. Is it the same with HyperFlex and Hyper-V? Any help?

Cheers,

Krzysztof

i would suggest having a manual update, things i have seen breaking the live environment by doing automatic updates.

read the update, check what is the effect, do it in maintenance window time. if this has high availability, do 1 server at a tme and test it before you upgrade rest of all.

Thanks. We decided to run all updates through WSUS, so there is more control.
