Windows doesn't automatically apply security patches, so this option behaves equivalently to `None`. You'll need to manage the reboot process by using a tool like [kured][kured].|

| `SecurityPatch`|OS security patches which are AKS-tested, fully managed, and applied with safe deployment practices. AKS regularly updates the node's virtual hard disk (VHD) with patches from the image maintainer labeled "security only." There might be disruptions when the security patches are applied to the nodes, however AKS is limiting disruptions by only reimaging your nodes only when absolutely necessary eg: for certain kernel security packages. When the patches are applied, the VHD is updated and existing machines are upgraded to that VHD, honoring maintenance windows and surge settings. If AKS decides reimaging nodes is not necessary, it will patch nodes live without draining pods i.e no VHD update is performed in such cases. This option incurs the extra cost of hosting the VHDs in your node resource group. If you use this channel, Linux [unattended upgrades][unattended-upgrades] are disabled by default.|Azure Linux doesn't support this channel on GPU-enabled VMs. `SecurityPatch` works on patch versions that are deprecated, so long as the minor Kubernetes version is still supported.|
