MicrosoftMicrosoftVishalBajaj I am starting a project to rebuild our entire server environment in Azure. Our existing infrastructure is also in Azure. Currently we use Azure Update Manager to schedule patching in maintenance windows that I monitor in case there are any problems. With Hotpatching turned on, I can only select "Azure Managed - Safe Deployment" for Patch orchestration. I want to be able to still do the patching in a maintenance window, but take advantage of the hotpatching. Is this possible? I see during the VM creation, there is a reboot setting. Is this setting supposed to prevent the VM from rebooting after a baseline update? I have 2 production 2022 VM's running Hotpatching and I had one reboot for updates outside of a maintenance window. I would love your input before I go ramp up my project. Thank you.
MicrosoftHello DavidO-GBHINC great to hear that you would like to build your hotpatch environment. So yes "Azure Orchestration" allows installation during the maintenance window you specify. Also, the reboot setting does give you control to determine if post an update installation the VM should reboot.
