Generally Available: Automated Patching retirement and replacement with Azure Update Manager 

Published date: Sep 19, 2024

Effective Sept 15th, 2027, we will be retiring the Automated Patching feature and replacing it with Azure Update Manager. This decision was made after careful consideration, and we believe it will lead to a more streamlined and efficient process for managing updates.

Introducing Azure Update Manager:

While Automated Patching is being deprecated, we’re excited to introduce you to Azure Update Manager. Azure Update Manager is an enterprise class powerful tool that allows you to: 

  1. Centralize Update Management: Azure Update Manager provides a unified dashboard where you can view and manage updates across your entire environment, including virtual machines, on-premises servers, and even hybrid scenarios.
  2. Customize Schedules: With Azure Update Manager, you can create custom update schedules based on your organization’s needs. Whether you prefer weekly, monthly, or specific date-based updates, Azure Update Manager has you covered.
  3. Patch Compliance Reports: Azure Update Manager generates detailed reports on patch compliance, helping you stay informed about the status of updates across your infrastructure.
