+Maintenance platform aims to provide customers with *unified maintenance experience* for all Azure resources that are impacted during maintenance. Maintenance experience is available for a variety of Azure resources, including host ([Azure Dedicated Host](dedicated-hosts.md) and [Isolated](isolation.md) VMs), guest (VMs and Arc VMs), AKS, SFMC, Network Gateways (VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, Virtual Network Gateway) resources either via Azure Portal, PowerShell or CLI. [Maintenance control](maintenance-configurations.md) provides customers with an option to skip or defer certain updates and schedule them only during their preferred maintenance window. However, in exceptional circumstances where a high-severity security issue arises that could potentially compromise customer services, Azure reserves the right to bypass these schedules to implement urgent changes. This measure is taken solely to ensure the safety and integrity of customer services and is employed only when the updates have no impact on customer resources. Such instances are infrequent and are invoked only as a last resort to safeguard resources.
