14, 2018 | ## MSRC patch updates The list of patches that are included with each monthly Guest OS release is available [here][patches]. ## SDK support Even though the [retirement policy for the Azure SDK][retire policy sdk] indicates that only versions above 2.2 are supported, specific Guest OS families allow you to use earlier versions. You should always use the latest supported SDK. | Guest OS family | Compatible SDK versions | | --- | --- | | 6 |Version 2.9.6+ | | 5 |Version 2.9.5.1+ | | 4 |Version 2.1+ | | 3 |Version 1.8+ | | 2 |Version 1.3+ | | 1 |Version 1.0+ | ## Guest OS release information There are three dates that are important to Guest OS releases: **release** date, **disabled** date, and **expiration** date. A Guest OS is considered available when it is in the Portal and can be selected as the target Guest OS. When a Guest OS reaches the **disabled** date, Microsoft removes it from Azure. However, any Cloud Service targeting that Guest OS still operates as normal. The window between the **disabled** date and the **expiration** date provides you with a buffer to easily transition from one Guest OS to one newer. If you're using *automatic* as your Guest OS, you're always on the latest version and you don't have to worry about it expiring. When the **expiration** date passes, any Cloud Service still using that Guest OS stops, deletes, or force upgrades. You can read more about the retirement policy [here][retirepolicy]. ## Guest OS family-version explanation The Guest OS families are based on released versions of Microsoft Windows Server. The Guest OS is the underlying operating system that Azure Cloud Services runs on. Each Guest OS has a family, version, and release number. * **Guest OS family** A Windows Server operating system release that a Guest OS is based on. For example, *family 3* is based on Windows Server 2012. * **Guest OS version** Specific to a Guest OS family image plus relevant [Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC)][msrc] patches that are available at the date the new Guest OS version is produced. Not all patches may be included. Numbers start at 0 and increment by 1 each time a new set of updates is added. Trailing zeros are only shown if important. That is, version 2.10 is a different, much later version than version 2.1. * **Guest OS release** A rerelease of a Guest OS version. A rerelease occurs if Microsoft finds issues during testing; requiring changes. The latest release always supersedes any previous releases, public or not. The Azure portal only allows users to pick the latest release for a given version. Deployments running on a previous release aren't force upgraded depending on the severity of the bug. In the following example, 2 is the family, 12 is the version, and "rel2" is the release. **Guest OS release** - 2.12 rel2 **Configuration string for this release** - WA-GUEST-OS-2.12_201208-02 The configuration string for a Guest OS has this same information embedded in it, along with a date showing which MSRC patches were considered for that release. In this example, MSRC patches produced for Windows Server 2008 R2 up to and including August 2012 were considered for inclusion. Only patches specifically applying to that version of Windows Server are included. For example, if an MSRC patch applies to Microsoft Office, it isn't included because that product isn't part of the Windows Server base image. ## Guest OS system update process This page includes information on upcoming Guest OS Releases. Some customers want to know when a release occurs because cloud service roles set to automatically update reboot on releases. Guest OS releases typically occur 2-3 weeks after the MSRC update release that occurs on the second Tuesday of every month. New releases include all the relevant MSRC patches for each Guest OS family. Microsoft Azure is constantly releasing updates. The Guest OS is only one such update in the pipeline. Many factors affect a release, and they're too numerous to list here. In addition, Azure runs on literally hundreds of thousands of machines. This means that it's impossible to give an exact date and time to expect your role or roles to reboot. We're working on a plan to limit or time reboots. When a new release of the Guest OS is published, it can take time to fully propagate across Azure. As services are updated to the new Guest OS, they reboot, honoring update domains. Services set to use "Automatic" updates get a release first. After the update, you’ll see the new Guest OS version listed for your service in the Azure portal. Rereleases may occur during this period. Some versions may be deployed over longer periods of time and automatic upgrade reboots may not occur for many weeks after the official release date. Once a Guest OS is available, you can then explicitly choose that version from the portal or in your configuration file.
