 # Azure Monitor agent extension versions
 This article describes the version details for the Azure Monitor agent virtual machine extension. This extension deploys the agent on virtual machines, scale sets, and Arc-enabled servers (on premise servers with Azure Arc agent installed).
 
-We strongly recommended to update to the latest version at all times, or opt in to the [Automatic Extension Update](../../virtual-machines/automatic-extension-upgrade.md) feature.
