In this episode, we cover rollback procedures for reversing patches or updates that cause instability or security issues. Effective rollback planning includes keeping backups, maintaining version histories, and ensuring minimal downtime during reversions. We also discuss patch policy enforcement models like n-1, which keeps systems one version behind the latest to reduce untested update risks.

We also address the trade-offs between staying on the latest release versus maintaining a tested version, and how policy adherence ensures consistent system behavior. For the Cloud+ exam, recognizing when and how to execute rollbacks and enforce patch policies is essential for operational resilience.
