> If you perform an in-place major version update following a migration (e.g. CentOS 7 -> RHEL 7 -> RHEL 8) there will be a disconnection between the data plane and the **[control plane](/azure/architecture/guide/multitenant/considerations/control-planes)** of the virtual machine (VM). Azure capabilities such as **[Auto guest patching](/azure/virtual-machines/automatic-vm-guest-patching)**, **[Auto OS image upgrades](/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-automatic-upgrade)**, **[Hotpatching](/windows-server/get-started/hotpatch?toc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-machines%2Ftoc.json)**, and **[Azure Update Manager](/azure/update-manager/overview)** won't be available. To utilize these features, it's recommended to create a new VM using your preferred operating system instead of performing an in-place upgrade.
