Hi there,
We're using AKS with no explicitly chosen node OS security mechanism. We recently received an email from Microsoft with a subject 'Action recommended: Changes to the default OS security updates mechanism'. It suggests the following:
In order to keep your clusters secure, AKS strongly recommends using and proactively moving to auto-upgrade node-image or node OS upgrade channel - SecurityPatch; you can set maintenance windows for these channels.
The first option (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/auto-upgrade-node-image) is a feature that is still in preview state. Is this correct? Are you suggesting to use the preview feature for production systems or is it just a doc that hasn't been updated yet?
Cheers,
Gosha
Hope you are having a good day.
