Azure Unblogged – Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition Hotpatch
Windows Server runs best in Microsoft Azure, especially in combination with management capabilities like Azure Automanage. Today we are announcing the general availability of Hotpatch for Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition. Hotpatching is a new way to install updates on supported Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines (VMs) that doesn’t require a reboot after installation and drastically increase uptime oof your mission critical application workloads running on Windows Server.

Hotpatching also includes the following benefits:
– Lower workload impact with less reboots
– Faster deployment of updates as the packages are smaller, install faster, and have easier patch orchestration with Azure Update Manager
– Better protection, as the Hotpatch update packages are scoped to Windows security updates that install faster without rebooting

Thanks Thomas, nice to see the difference shown side by side, with the overview, would be great to see this myself, the speed difference… plus no interruption… that's magic! #Azure #AzureHotPatch #HotPatch #WindowsServer #ITOpsTalk
so, is this feature "hotpatch" available for all windows OS or any specific version and also, can any windows OS VM hosted on other hosting providers/be it AWS, GCP etc., have this feature or just limited to VM's hosted on Azure only?
Hello,Can a schedule be defined for the 'baseline' reboots or it is something done automatically and cannot be changed?
