Simplified management of Windows Server with Automanage and Hotpatch capabilities. Automanage in Azure is a unified solution to automate operations, apply consistent best practices, and enforce policies on the servers you manage via Azure and Azure Arc. Use Hotpatch capabilities for Windows Server Azure Edition VMs to speed up deployment of updates and minimize reboots, so you can apply security updates faster.

Lead engineer for the Azure control plane, Dean Wells, joins Jeremy Chapman to share updates to Windows Server.
