Use this workflow for Azure Local inventory, health, monitoring, lifecycle management, updates, and update troubleshooting.
Identify:
Azure Local updates are orchestrated as a solution update for the OS, agents/services, and solution extension content. Use documented Azure Local update paths:
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Learn update model and cadence | Azure Local update overview |
| Understand phases | Update phases docs |
| Command-line update | Azure Local PowerShell update docs |
| Portal update | Azure Update Manager for Azure Local docs |
| Limited connectivity | Import/discover updates offline docs |
| Failure investigation | Update troubleshooting docs |
Do not recommend out-of-band updates for Azure Local components. Avoid unsupported interfaces such as manual Cluster-Aware Updating, Windows Admin Center update flows, SConfig, or update panes for individual Arc machines unless Microsoft Learn explicitly documents the scenario for the user’s version.
Use Azure control-plane discovery first:
Resources
| where type =~ 'microsoft.azurestackhci/clusters'
| project name, resourceGroup, location, propertiesThen expand to associated Arc resource bridge, custom locations, Arc machines, workload resources, extensions, and activity logs. See resource-types.
