Choosing Your Update Window by Antony Reynolds

Starting in the November Quarterly release we will allow customers to choose between two update windows for their OIC Generation 2 instances.

What is an Update Window?

We currently provide OIC functional updates every quarter. For OIC Generation 2 instances we do this in two windows, usually two weeks apart. Starting with the November release we will allow customers to select the windows in which they wish to be updated. We recommend that non-production instances are updated in the first window and production instances in the second window. This allows customers to sanity check the update before it is applied to production instances.

How Do I Select a Window?

We use the OCI tagging mechanism to identify the window in which an OIC instance should be updated. We currently look at one tag : OIC_UPDATE_WINDOW1. If that tag is set then we update the instance in window 1, otherwise we update it in window 2. Read the complete article here.
