Patch order in SharePoint 2013 while joining server into farm

This question arises many times in minds of SharePoint administrators when they scale out the farms. In which or what order they need to patch he new servers to join in the existing farm. In this article I am providing the patching order of SharePoint farm to scale out.

1.    Install the Pre-requisites of SharePoint

2.    Install the SharePoint binaries

3.    Install the SP1

4.    Install the Language packs

5.    Install the SP1 for language packs

6.    Install the Cumulative updates(DEC,FEB,APR,JUNE…)

7.    Finally Run the Products and configuration wizard to join the new server into the farm.
8.Patch APP fabric if required

Note: The LP,CU’s should follow according to your existing servers in farm only. The above is the Order that should follow.
