They will not get any updates either way!
Cloud instances can be pretty special in this way: you may just be launching the latest image for a particular major OS release, and at some point in time, that is going to no longer get you any security updates. This is a pretty common use case on AWS with customers launching instances in VPCs that only have external connectivity to the S3 repos with OS packages (or not even that if they bake their own AMI with all the packages they need in it), and connectivity to whatever other service/instance that the instance needs to do its work. Often the only other external thing will be some kind of security scanner. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
