Definition

Software that updates itself without you having to manually install new versions. Like having a car that automatically gets the latest safety features overnight.

Real-World Example

Your smartphone apps receive automatic updates to fix bugs and add new features without you needing to do anything.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Automatic Updates is a general software capability rather than a single cloud service. Each cloud provider offers multiple features that enable automatic patching and version updates (for operating systems, managed databases, Kubernetes, and applications), but there is no one-to-one service name that universally represents the concept across all workloads.
