Hotpatching and update management for Windows Server with Azure Arc

Highly recommend Orin's SMBv1 review at the end of the video having it's own callout somewhere. 

"...And in a deep dish pizza parlor somewhere, Ned Pyle is a happy man." 

Enjoy that pizza, Ned. 😊

Since WSUS is to be deprecated, can we expect Hotpatching and Azure Update to be the mechanism that is to replace WSUS in the long term? As someone who is entirely working with servers on prem today, I'm a little hesitant to jump onto the Azure path.

Thanks for tuning in! We hope you enjoyed this session. Q&A will remain open through Friday. 

The Windows Server Summit 2025 continues.

Welcome to Hotpatching and update management for Windows Server with Azure Arc and Windows Server Summit 2025! Have a question? Post it here in the Comments so we can help. Let’s make this an active Q&A!

If you prefer, you can also watch it on LinkedIn: Hotpatching and update management for Windows Server with Azure Arc | LinkedIn

All of today's sessions will be available on demand immediately after airing. You'll see auto-generated captions during our live broadcasts, and we will update those with human-generated captions by the end of the week. Q&A will be live during the sessions, and we'll leave it open through the end of the week.

As already mentioned and discussed at last community event regarding hotpatching for servers, please take onprem customers scenarios with configmgr and wsus onprem into consideration, that need hotpatches to be published into wsus: AMA: Hotpatching Windows - client and server - December 11, 2024 - Microsoft Event

If you would enable that scenario for Windows Servers i would expect many more hotpatch customers there regardless of the extra costs (if there are any). 😉

Thanks!
