Listing Available Updates
View updates that can be applied to an instance in OS Management Hub
Available updates depend on the software sources attached to an instance. An 'up-to-date' instance doesn't necessary mean the instance is running the latest updates issued by the OS vendor. Instead, it indicates that OS Management Hub has applied all available patches from the currently attached sources.
For example, if the instance uses a custom software source that doesn't auto-update, the instance might not have the latest updates from the OS vendor. However, it does have all available patches installed from the attached custom source.
