# Use dynamic groups with Update Management
1011

Update Management allows you to target a dynamic group of Azure or non-Azure VMs for update deployments. These groups, defined by queries, are evaluated at deployment time so that you don't have to edit your deployment to add machines.

Update Management allows you to target a dynamic group of Azure or non-Azure VMs for update deployments. Using a dynamic group keeps you from having to edit your deployment to update machines.

You can define dynamic groups for Azure or non-Azure machines from **Update management** in the Azure portal. See

[Manage updates for multiple Azure virtual machines](manage-update-multi.md).
19+
20+
A dynamic group is defined by a query that Azure Automation evaluates at deployment time. Even if a dynamic group query retrieves a large number of machines, Azure Automation can process only a maximum of 1000 machines at a time. See [Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits#update-management).
21+
22+
> [!NOTE]
23+
> If you expect to update more than 1000 machines, we recommend that you split up the updates among multiple update schedules.

To preview the results of a dynamic group, click **Preview**. The preview shows the group membership at the current time. In the example, we're searching for machines having the tag `Role` for the group **BackendServer**. If more machines have this tag added, they are added to any future deployments against that group.

For non-Azure machines, saved searches, also referred to as computer groups, are used to create the dynamic group. To learn how to create a saved search, see [Creating a computer group](../azure-monitor/platform/computer-groups.md#creating-a-computer-group). Once your group is created, you can select it from the list of saved searches. Click **Preview** to preview the computers in the saved search at that time.
