Validate software updates from Microsoft

Microsoft will periodically release updates to the Azure Stack Hub software. These updates are provided to Azure Stack Hub co-engineering partners. The updates are provided in advance of publicly available updates. You can check the updates against your solution and provide feedback to Microsoft.
