description: "Google Cloud Virtual Machines have the ability via an OS Config agent API to \ 
 periodically (about every 10 minutes) report OS inventory data. A patch compliance API \ 
 periodically reads this data, and cross references metadata to determine if the latest \ 
 updates are installed. 
 This is not the only Patch Management solution available to your organization and you \ 
 should weigh your needs before committing to using this method. "
