Authentication verifies your identity for access to Google Cloud services and APIs. To run code or samples from a local development environment, you can authenticate to Compute Engine by selecting one of the following options:\n 1.\n [Install](/sdk/docs/install) the Google Cloud CLI.\n\n After installation,\n [initialize](/sdk/docs/initializing) the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:\n\n ```bash\n gcloud init\n ```\n\n\n If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first\n [sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity](/iam/docs/workforce-log-in-gcloud).\n | **Note:** If you installed the gcloud CLI previously, make sure you have the latest version by running `gcloud components update`.\n 2. [Set a default region and zone](/compute/docs/gcloud-compute#set_default_zone_and_region_in_your_local_client).\n\nOverview\n--------\n\nTo update your VM Manager setup, complete the following steps:\n\n1. [Check the current version](#view-version) of the OS Config agent that is installed on your VMs. For more information about the OS Config agent versions, see the [GoogleCloudPlatform/osconfig](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/osconfig/tags) GitHub repository.\n - To use OS inventory management, your VM must be running an OS Config agent version dated `20201110` or later\n - To use OS policies, your VM must be running an OS Config agent version dated `20210427` or later.\n2. If the version of your OS config agent does not support the new features, [update the OS Config agent](#update-agent).\n\nView OS Config agent version\n----------------------------\n\nIf you have [OS inventory management (earlier version)](/compute/vm-manager/docs/os-inventory/view-os-details#version-one)\nrunning on your VMs, you can check the OS Config agent version by running\nthe following command: \n\n```\ngcloud compute instances os-inventory describe VM-NAME \\\n --zone=ZONE\n```\n\nReplace the following:\n\n- \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eVM-NAME\u003c/var\u003e: the name of your VM\n- \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eZONE\u003c/var\u003e: the zone where the VM is located\n\nIn the output, search for `OSConfigAgentVersion`. \n\n```\nOSConfigAgentVersion: 20210316.00-g1\n```\n\nIn the preceding output snippet, the OS Config agent version is dated `20210316`\n(2021-03-16).\n\nUpdate the OS Config agent\n--------------------------\n\nTo update the OS Config agent, do one of the following:\n\n- [Update the package](#os-package) for your operating system\n- [Run a patch job](#patch-job)\n\n### Update OS packages\n\nOne method of updating the OS Config agent is to update the package for your\noperating system. \n\n### CentOS/RHEL/Rocky\n\nTo update the agent on CentOS, Rocky Linux, and RHEL operating systems, run\nthe following command: \n\n```\nsudo yum update google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n### Debian\n\nTo update the agent on Debian operating systems, run the\nfollowing commands: \n\n```\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n### SLES\n\nTo update the agent on SLES, run the following command: \n\n```\nsudo zypper -n update google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n\n| **Note:** The package repository available from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) might not have the latest OS Config agent available.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nTo update the agent on SLES VMs, you can also do a reinstall of the\nagent using the Google-provided packages. To do an install\nusing Google-provided packages, see\n[Install the OS Config agent](/compute/docs/manage-os#agent-install).\n\n### Ubuntu\n\nTo update the agent on Ubuntu operating systems, run the\nfollowing commands: \n\n```\nsudo apt update\nsudo apt install google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n\n| **Note:** The package repository available from Ubuntu might not have the latest OS Config agent available.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nTo update the agent on Ubuntu VMs, we recommend that you do a\nreinstall of the agent using the Google-provided packages. To do an install\nusing Google-provided packages, see\n[Install the OS Config agent](/compute/docs/manage-os#agent-install).\n\n### Windows\n\nTo update the agent on Windows operating systems, run the\nfollowing command: \n\n```\ngooget install google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n### Run a patch job\n\nAnother method of updating the OS Config agent is by running a patch job and\nspecifying the `exclusive_packages` flag. This patch job only updates the OS\nConfig agent on the target VMs.\n\nTo set the target VMs, you need to specify an \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eINSTANCE_FILTER\u003c/var\u003e.\nFor more information about instance filters,\nsee [instance filters](/compute/docs/os-patch-management/create-patch-job#instance-filters). \n\n### CentOS/RHEL/Rocky\n\nTo update the agent for CentOS, Rocky Linux and RHEL VMs, run the\nfollowing command: \n\n```\ngcloud compute os-config patch-jobs execute INSTANCE_FILTER \\\n --yum-exclusive-packages=google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n### Debian\n\nTo update the agent for Debian VMs, run the\nfollowing commands: \n\n```\ngcloud compute os-config patch-jobs execute INSTANCE_FILTER \\\n --apt-exclusive-packages=google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n### SLES\n\nTo update the agent for SLES VMs, run the following command: \n\n```\ngcloud compute os-config patch-jobs execute INSTANCE_FILTER \\\n --zypper-exclusive-patches=google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n\n| **Note:** The package repository available from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) might not have the latest OS Config agent available.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nTo update the agent on SLES VMs, you can also do a reinstall of the\nagent using the Google-provided packages. To do an install\nusing Google-provided packages, see\n[Install the OS Config agent](/compute/docs/manage-os#agent-install).\n\n### Ubuntu\n\nTo update the agent for Ubuntu VMs, run the\nfollowing commands: \n\n```\ngcloud compute os-config patch-jobs execute INSTANCE_FILTER \\\n --apt-exclusive-packages=google-osconfig-agent\n```\n\n\n| **Note:** The package repository available from Ubuntu might not have the latest OS Config agent available.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nTo update the agent on Ubuntu VMs, we recommend that you do a\nreinstall of the agent using the Google-provided packages. To do an install\nusing Google-provided packages, see\n[Install the OS Config agent](/compute/docs/manage-os#agent-install).\n\n### Windows\n\nTo update the agent for Windows VMs, run the\nfollowing command:\n**Note:** This command also updates all the Google-provided software on the VM. \n\n```\ngcloud compute os-config patch-jobs execute INSTANCE_FILTER \\\n --windows-exclusive-patches=google-packages\n```"]]
