Chef Patching

Overview

This cookbook is made to work with the Apprentice Chef training lab. It will stand up the following:

• Windows WSUS Client to be patched

Patching is triggered by tagging your Nodes using the ADO Pipeline and running do_patch.sh and you add the nodes to be tagged in the file do_patch_node_list
