Ok that covers 6 of the many linux flavors that are around esp. when using f.e. a docker environment this will hardly work the way it is intended imho. (I thought of the Docker (Containers) case later, as they can be vulnerable based on other linux setups, and there is no package management available anyway you need to rebuild the "containers" every time you "install them", in many cases those are precooked container templates).

I am looking for tool that replace sccm for update windows patching and yum for linux in one administrative console that deals with both through plugins
I use HCL BigFix (formerly IBM) that supports multiple platforms. check https://www.hcltechsw.com/wps/portal/products/bigfix/features
Connectwise Automate (former Labtech) supports Windows patching out of the box, but I think requires a plugin to support Linux. There are also a bunch of apps it can manage patching of via a plugin from Connectwise.

auto patch: I you really want to automate patches and not review them ...
On unix system use a cron entry that runs the right commands daily.

I would like to automate windows patches and linux patches so replace sccm for windows and crons for linux with centralized single solution that have one central administration console as this will be very difficult for 1500 plus for hybrid windows and linux environments.

Unsure how this might work, as each Linux Distro has their own package manager.
Even if you could find some paid service, anytime a Linux patch is installed which throws an error, best you see the error on the command line exactly as it is produced in real time, because if you try to reproduce error messages by applying patches again... this can produce extremely complex to debug problems.
