Abstract

See full text

A mechanism is provided for applying a maximum number of software patches to each computing system in a set of computing systems. A set of computing systems are grouped into a plurality of computing system groups based on characteristics associated with each computing system, the plurality of computing system groups comprising at least two different groups of computing systems that differ in implementation of previous software patches. For each group of computing systems, a set of pending software patches are bundled based on characteristics associated with that group of computing systems thereby forming a plurality of bundles of pending software patches, the plurality of bundles of pending software patches comprise at least two different sets of pending software patches. For the plurality of computing systems, an associated bundle of pending software patches is applied to an associated group of computing systems.
