You can keep your AWS Snowcone system software up-to-date, which helps you ensure your devices are secure, reliable, and ready to handle your edge compute needs. To complete offline updates, download the software update from a client machine with connection to the internet using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). For AWS Snowcone devices connected to the internet, you can use the Snowball CLI client to directly update the Snow system software on device. After the Snow system software is installed, reboot the device to run the latest software on AWS Snowcone.
The software update feature is available in all regions where AWS Snowcone is available. For a full list, please visit Snowcone FAQs. To learn more, visit the product page and documentation. To get started, visit the AWS Snow Family console.
