Hi All - we are also looking to patch SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP4 which running on EC2 instances on AWS cloud. Unfortunately we have not found this OS category in supported OS list on BigFix site as per below link.

https://help.hcltechsw.com/bigfix/9.5/patch/Patch/Patch_SUSE/c_supported_platforms.html

Can you share if any specific steps to follow to patch these server as we not able to see packages in relevant fixlets.

In our case , we have not purchased SUSE subscription directly from SUSE vendor and got same from AWS Vendor. Just let us know if we must be required subscription from SUSE vendor directly. Currently we are not able see any subscription on SCC portal and might be that one of the reason , Bigfix not able to pull Fixlets .
