The azure VMs 2022 was called "Hotpatching", but the server 2025 is not. They are only called Azure edition.
Will they also be hotpatch eligible?

You can visit https://aka.ms/hotpatchdocs for all supported images. For Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition, not all images support Hotpatching and so the addition of the text Hotpatching to the name. For Windows Server 2025 Datacenter Azure Edition all officially released images support Hotpatching and hence no explicit call out. Hope that helps.
