Updates retrieved from repo/mirror and installed Private Mirror rsync Admin can stand-up private mirror to sync packages onprem. Similar to WSUS Admin or scheduled task invokes repo mgr (e.g. yum) to update. This model assumes no vendor or 3 rd party tools are being used. “out of the box” functionality.
