Update management in Azure Automation will be retired on 31 August 2024
You’re receiving this email because you use Azure Automation update management.
On 31 August 2024, both the update management feature of Azure Automation and the Log Analytics agent it uses will be retired. You’ll need to begin assessing and patching your virtual machines using Azure Update Manager by that date.
Azure Update Manager is available at no charge for managing Azure Virtual Machines and Azure Stack HCI VMs. For Azure Arc–enabled servers, the price is $5 per server per month.
In addition to the familiar features you already use, Azure Update Manager offers key improvements including:
Zero-step onboarding with native functionality built on Azure compute and Azure Arc.
Granular, per-resource access control and role-based access control.
Greater flexibility with Azure-orchestrated auto-patching, customer-defined maintenance schedules, and hotpatching.
Required action
To avoid any disruptions in service, migrate to Azure Update Manager by 31 August 2024.
