Create a patch maintenance window

During a maintenance window, the system creates a snapshot of each instance's root volume. If needed, AMS Operations engineers can use the snapshot to restore the instance's root volume.

Note

You must have the Accelerate Patch Add-On in order to use the Accelerate tag-based patching feature options, contact your cloud service delivery manager (CSDM) to get it.
