When you subscribe to [scheduled events](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-scheduled-events), your VM is notified about upcoming maintenance events that can impact your VM. When scheduled events are enabled, your virtual machine is given a minimum amount of time before the maintenance activity is performed. For example, Host OS updates that might impact your VM are queued up as events that specify the impact, as well as a time at which the maintenance will be performed if no action is taken. Schedule events are also queued up when Azure detects imminent hardware failure that might impact your VM, which allows you to decide when the healing should be performed. Customers can use the event to perform tasks prior to the maintenance, such as saving state, failing over to the secondary, and so on. After you complete your logic for gracefully handling the maintenance event, you can approve the outstanding scheduled event to allow the platform to proceed with maintenance.
