Introduction
Imagine you're the server administrator for a regional fire department (RFD) covering dozens of stations. Your department recently migrated their on-premises systems to the cloud; specifically, they migrated existing servers to virtual machines hosted in Azure. The department has public-facing and private websites supporting email, patient records, and internal applications.
As a part of your effort to keep your infrastructure secure, you need to ensure that the virtual machines in your cloud environment are up-to-date with the latest security and critical updates.
Here you learn about Azure Update Management, how to deploy Update Management to a virtual machine, and how to schedule automatic deployment of critical and security updates.
