This section describes how to upgrade your Oracle Compute Cloud Service instances.
Your Oracle Compute Cloud Service instances
Oracle Compute Cloud Service instances that host your PaaS instances
Oracle Cloud Ops handles the upgrades to the infrastructure and control services of your Oracle Public Cloud Machine (OPCM). However, Oracle Cloud Ops does not patch your user-created IaaS and PaaS instances. After Oracle Cloud Ops completes an upgrade of your machine, you must upgrade the Oracle Compute Cloud instances for all your user-created IaaS and those hosting your PaaS instances as described in this section.
Note:
The patches described in this section patch the kernel and drivers of an instance.
For your Oracle Compute Cloud Service instances, you must patch the other packages in your instances using Oracle Public Yum. The Yum exclusion list is already part of the Yum configuration of the image. Users must not override the exclusion list either by using a different configuration file or by using --disableexcludes option
For your PaaS instances, you must also patch the PaaS software using the associated service console, CLI, or API.
