Probably includes a bunch of virtual machines.
Yeah, our VMs completely died at work. Has to set up temporary stuff on hardware we had laying around today. Was kinda fun, but stressful haha.
Could you just revert VMs to a snapshot before the update? Or do you not take periodic snapshots? You could probably also mount the VM's drive on the host and delete the relevant file that way.
This is assuming you have those access. Some companies can sometimes be a bit .... Stupid.
