Thanks for this AMA! Will the Hotpatch Option over Azure Arc for on-premise Systems (not Azure Stack HCI Hosted) require the use of Azure Update Manager or can Hotpatches also be deployed by WSUS or ConfigMgr? Can you say something to pricing? Thanks!

    Hi Michael. It will not require AUM, but that will be a supported option. It will support AUM, WU, WSUS, etc. (although WSUS and ConfigMgr and third parties might show up slightly after release).

      will Hotpatching on WS 2025 be free when the VM is running on Azure Stack HCI? There are customers that may not adopt WS 2022 Azure Edition as their software vendors "do not support it" albeit it isn't an all-different OS, rather SKU imho. Yeah, contracts and semantics. It would be great to see Hotpatch no WS 2025 as an additional Azure Hybrid benefit, would align with the current terms and ideas.

        Yes it will be free just like it will be free in Azure IaaS
