Generally available: Hotpatch for Windows Server virtual machines

You can patch and install updates to your Windows Server virtual machines on Azure without requiring a reboot using hotpatch. This capability is available exclusively as part of Azure Automanage for Windows Server for Windows Server Azure Edition core virtual machines, and comes with 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
