One benefit of Azure VMware Solution private clouds is the platform is maintained for you. Microsoft is responsible for the lifecycle management of VMware software (ESXi, vCenter, and vSAN). Microsoft is also responsible for the lifecycle management of NSX-T appliances, bootstrapping the network configuration, such as creating the Tier-0 gateway and enabling North-South routing. You're responsible for NSX-T SDN configuration: network segments, distributed firewall rules, Tier 1 gateways, and load balancers.

- **ESXi** - There's no impact to workloads running in your private cloud. Access to vCenter and NSX-T isn't blocked during this time. It's recommended that, during this time, you don't plan any other activities like scaling up private cloud, scheduling or initiating active HCX migrations, making HCX configuration changes and so on, in your private cloud.

- **vCenter** - There's no impact to workloads running in your private cloud. During this time, vCenter will be unavailable and you won't be able to manage VMs (stop, start, create, or delete). It's recommended that, during this time, you don't plan any other activities like scaling up private cloud, creating new networks, and so on, in your private cloud. If you are using SRM or vSphere replication user interfaces, it is recommended to not configure vSphere replications and configure or execute site recovery plans during the vCenter upgrade.
