Security Updates and Patches

The VMware Aria Operations for Logs virtual appliance uses VMware Photon 3.0 as the guest operating system.

VMware Aria Operations for Logs 8.0 or later comes with a Photon operating system. Photon is more secure than the SLES operating system, which accompanies VMware Aria Operations for Logs 4.8 or earlier.

VMware releases patches to address security issues in maintenance releases. You can download these patches from the VMware Aria Operations for Logs download page.

Before you apply an upgrade or patch to the guest operating system, consider the dependencies. See Ports and External Interfaces.
