Patch Management - Requirements

This page outlines the requirements for Cloudaware Patch Management.


Check the operating system requirements for Breeze Agent installation.

Once the agent is installed, Cloudaware enables patching for all Windows and Linux machines where Breeze is installed and running. No public IP is required. The egress traffic can be routed via a proxy or an internet gateway.

Supported OS

  • CentOS (all versions)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all versions)

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and later

For Windows Server 2012, an active Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription is required, as the operating system reached end of life (EOL) on October 10, 2023. ESU coverage remains available through October 13, 2026.
