We have a Kakfa cluster (Azure HD Insights) running on Azure.

Does this need a manual intervention for OS Patching & Updates?

Is it not handled by Azure?

    Hello @Senthilnath TM ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    Only critical security fixes will be patched on HDInsight clusters.

    Does this need a manual intervention for OS Patching & Updates?

    Yes, you need to manual perform common tasks on your cluster such as installing OS patches, OS security updates, and rebooting nodes.

    As the document: Configure the OS patching schedule for Linux-based HDInsight clusters clearly mentions Running clusters aren't auto-patched. Customers must use script actions or other mechanisms to patch a running cluster.
