Monthly Patch Process for Meridian Cloud

We consistently patch the Meridian Cloud virtual machines every month to ensure optimal security and reliability. The patching process follows a schedule based on Microsoft's Patch Tuesday.

Patch Tuesday

Patch Tuesday is the commonly known name for Microsoft's Update Tuesday, which is when Microsoft rolls out patch updates to improve the security of its applications.

Patch Tuesday occurs on the second Tuesday of each month. The deployment of patch updates for other third-party applications, such as Adobe and Mozilla, coincides with Patch Tuesday.

Patch Process Schedule

The patch process for Meridian Cloud virtual machines (VMs) occurs monthly, according to the following schedule:

• Internal VMs: 1st Thursday after Patch Tuesday

• UAT (Not for Production) VMs: 1st Friday after Patch Tuesday

• Production (US) and Production (EU) VMs: 1st Friday after Patch Tuesday

The following are the maintenance windows, according to the VM location:

• US: 02:00 AM CT to 06:00 AM CT / 09:00 AM CET to 01:00 PM CET

• EU: 08:00 PM CET to 12:00 AM CET / 01:00 PM CT to 5:00 PM CT
