To install patches with other patch classifications or schedule patch installation within your own custom maintenance window, you can use [Azure Update Manager](/azure/update-manager/overview). Enabling Automatic Guest Patching on single-instance VMs or Virtual Machine Scale Sets in Flexible orchestration mode allows the Azure platform to update your fleet in phases. Phased deployment follows Azure's [Safe Deployment Practices](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/advancing-safe-deployment-practices/) and reduces the impact radius if any issues are identified with the latest update. [Health monitoring](../virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-health-extension.md) is recommended for single instance VMs and required for Virtual Machine Scale Sets in Flexible orchestration mode to detect issues any issues with the update.
