OS currency is a big deal for us in Banking. The Cloud vendor maintaining the OS currency and patches will save us so much headaches. Its entirely possible that version x of a custom application requires version q of the OS but the Cloud vendor is mandating version r of the OS. In this case we get to go back to business and app teams and force them to either upgrade their software or containerized or retire their app. Without this stick, we would be stuck with apps untouched , not- maintained and vulnerable forever.
