6.2. Updating Software in Virtual Machines

To keep software in your virtual machines up to date, you can use the same means you would use on standalone computers running the corresponding operating systems:

  • In Linux-based virtual machines, you can use the native Linux updaters (up2date, yum, or yast).
  • In Windows-based virtual machines, you can use the native Windows updaters (e.g., the Windows Update tool).
