The platform validates the size of the Resource Group with the Update Domain to ensure 20% or less of the VMs within a Resource Group are updated at a time. For less than 10 VMs, this limits to 1 VM at a time within a Resource Group. Limiting the number of VMs that are patched at a time across regions, within a region, or an availability set, limit the blast radius of the patch. With health monitoring, any potential issues are flagged without impacting the entire fleet.

Restricting the number of concurrently patched across regions, within a region, or within an availability set limits the impact of a faulty patch on a given set of VMs. Furthermore, with health monitoring, any potential issues are flagged before them impact the entire fleet.
