One option to get hotpatching without Azure Arc today is to use Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition. (Which is available to Azure Local customers.) There are currently no plans to enable that on other editions, although we always keep looking for customer feedback and new opportunities. If you are interested in hotpatching without Azure Arc, what other tools would you prefer to use for update management, orchestration and tracking?

We would like to have Hotpatching in WSUS to use it for our 20000 onprem Server ConfigMgr managed environment. Currently we don't have any plans to move to Azur Arc due to limited fuctionality and dependency on customized internal Reporting Solution which Azure can't provide.
