    @Kubataly UsubalievI recommend utilizing Azure Update Manager. It allows you to check for updates, install updates, schedule updates, and perform periodic assessments to validate if the VMs are supported for guest patching. Another alternative is Azure Image Builder.

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions or are needing a different solution.
