Performance & Scale
Cloudaware Patch Management may handle large numbers of hosts without overwhelming infrastructure or causing widespread disruption.
Use this guide to understand the strategies for safely and efficiently scaling Cloudaware Patch Management across large numbers of hosts.
Scaling Strategies
- Use waves and patch groups to control how many hosts are patched/rebooted at once.
- Spread jobs across time and regions to avoid peak load on repositories and networks.
- Prioritize critical systems and high‑risk vulnerabilities when scheduling jobs.
Monitoring Performance
Track:
- Job duration and throughput (hosts per hour).
- Failure rates by environment or OS.
- Repository or network saturation during large releases.
If you consistently see long job durations or timeouts, work with Cloudaware Support at support@cloudaware.com to tune concurrency and scheduling.
