Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include querying a centralized patch repository for new patch data; receiving a confirmation that there is new patch data in the centralized patch repository; spinning-up a proxy in an isolated computing environment in response to the receiving the confirmation; disabling an air-gap of the isolated computing environment configured to receive the new patch data; and receiving the new patch data at the isolated computing environment from the centralized patch repository.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- querying, by a computing device, a centralized patch repository for new patch data;
- receiving, by the computing device, a confirmation that there is new patch data in the centralized patch repository;
- spinning-up, by the computing device, a proxy in an isolated computing environment in response to the receiving the confirmation;
- disabling, by the computing device, an air-gap of the isolated computing environment configured to receive the new patch data;
- and
- receiving, by the computing device, the new patch data at the isolated computing environment from the centralized patch repository.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
- query a centralized patch repository for new patch data;
- receive a confirmation that there is new patch data in the centralized patch repository;
- spin-up a proxy in an isolated computing environment in response to the receiving the confirmation;
- disable an air-gap of the isolated computing environment configured to receive the new patch data;
- and
- receive the new patch data at the isolated computing environment from the centralized patch repository.
A system comprising:
- a processor, a computer readable memory, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
- query a centralized patch repository for new patch data;
- receive a confirmation that there is new patch data in the centralized patch repository;
- spin-up a proxy in an isolated computing environment in response to the receiving the confirmation;
- disable an air-gap of the isolated computing environment configured to receive the new patch data;
- and
- receive the new patch data at the isolated computing environment from the centralized patch repository.
