25.2 Early platform support for managing OS version compatibility via externalized configuration.

To streamline server enrollment and management, TrueSight Server Automation 25.2 introduces a configuration-driven model that externalizes OS version and build number mappings. This enhancement enables users to quickly adapt to newly supported OS releases without requiring a full product upgrade, ensuring smoother operations and improved flexibility. This feature excludes provisioning and virtualization use cases.

Key benefits include:

Effortless server enrollment: Servers running newly certified OS versions from BMC can be onboarded with just a few simple steps, removing the need for complete product upgrades.
Accelerated platform support: Users can deploy agents, run patching jobs, perform compliance checks, and carry out other essential tasks immediately. This reduces manual effort and testing time by eliminating the wait for a new product release.
