At WSO2 we continuously improve our products with bug fixes, security fixes, and various other improvements. Every major release of our products is followed by a series of periodic dot releases that include all these recent updates. We want everyone evaluating, developing on or preparing WSO2 products for product deployments to have the best experience by not tripping over bugs, especially those that have already been fixed! WSO2 Update Manager (WUM) makes this process much easier. In this talk Sameera will be giving you a first-hand look at WUM. It will cover the basics of WUM and answer the following questions: What is WUM? What are the benefits of using WUM? How do you install WUM? How do you initialize WUM with your WSO2 credentials? How do you search and add products via WUM? How do you update WSO2 products and maintain a product repo? How do you push updated product distributions to your deployments?
