Hello,
So the requirements on what to allow outbound through our firewall for Windows agents (for WindowsUpdate) are very clear. But what do we need to allow for Linux agents? Or does all of that come via Automox’s cloud CDN?
Cheers,
Mark.

Hello Mark,
Yes - the Ubuntu device does need to be able to directly connect to the Ubuntu apt repositories to pull down patches/packages.
Kind regards,

Hello Mark,
The following outbound connectivity is required by the Automox Agent:
Agent access to the Automox platform on 443/tcp (https), and some third-party patches:
api.automox.com
Agent access to content uploaded on 443/tcp (https) for use with Worklets and Required Software Policies:
automox-policy-files.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
Device access to Linux distro-specific yum or apt repositories, depending on your device’s configuration present in /etc/yum.repos.d/ or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, such as:
- Ubuntu:
us.archive.ubuntu.com, security.ubuntu.com - CentOS:
vault.centos.org, mirrorlist.centos.org
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Hello!
Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that for Automox to patch a Linux (Ubuntu in our case) device, it will also need the Ubuntu apt repositories whitelisted on the firewall?

Mark.
