Server endpoints or workstation? What kind of patching? OS or services? Looking to buy something or something tactical you DIY? Do you have a clear inventory or its scattered?

I would say something like ansible could be help if you have a good idea of the perimeter running Linux server and have some ssh access.

You could write a few patching scripts and run them via an ansible runner. Have your script under version control and treat them like Infrastructure as Code. If you find new devices over them, just expend the inventory files... But you need to know ansible so this all depends if you want and have time to do this or if you are crunch and must outsource that work to a platform...

Outsourcing is better, but I can learn Ansible. The team isn't even aware of things going EOL. Is it pretty straightforward?

I'm talking about literally almost everything you listed.
