How to perform Rolling Update with Ansible on Windows-like systems?

Every System Administrator knows how important is to maintain an up-to-date fleet in a consistent state.
I’m going to show you a live demo with some simple Ansible code.
I’m Luca Berton and welcome to today’s episode of Ansible Pilot

Ansible Rolling Update Windows-like systems

  • `ansible.windows.win_updates`
  • Download and install Windows updates

Today we’re talking about the Ansible module `win_updates`.

The full name is `ansible.windows.win_updates `, which means that is part of the collection of modules specialized to interact with Windows target host.

It’s a module pretty stable and out for years.
