Why each option
Patch management tools are designed to automate and orchestrate large-scale patching across many systems simultaneously, making them the most efficient approach for 58 instances.
Patch management tools provide centralized automation and orchestration capabilities that allow an administrator to deploy patches to all 58 instances simultaneously in a single coordinated workflow, minimizing manual effort and maintenance window time.
Vulnerability scanning tools are designed to identify and report security weaknesses, not to deploy or apply patches to systems.
Scheduling patches from a remote file server on reboot lacks centralized orchestration and requires individual server configuration, making it far less efficient at scale.
Connecting production server instances directly to the Internet to pull patches introduces significant security risks and provides no centralized control or orchestration.
