maintenanceConfigurations supported offset range

[lukelloydagi]

Why do maintenanceConfigurations only support an offset range of -6 through +6

Microsoft updates as you know are released the 2nd Tues of each month aka 'patch Tuesday' therefore that's the recurring schedule to be used with a number of offsets. Need to offset more than +6 days

This is currently possible with the automation account update management solution but not with the new Azure Update Management (AUM) due to this limitation within maintenanceConfigurations.

We have to migrate to AUM before August due to MS depreciating the Log Analytics agent.
