The Virtual WAN team has been working on upgrading virtual routers from their current Cloud Services infrastructure to Virtual Machine Scale Sets based deployments. This will enable the virtual hub router to now be availability zone aware. If you navigate to your Virtual WAN hub resource and see this message and button, then you can upgrade your router to the latest version by clicking on the button. Azure-wide Cloud Services-based infrastructure is deprecating. If you would like to take advantage of new Virtual WAN features, such as [BGP peering with the hub](create-bgp-peering-hub-portal.md), you'll have to update your virtual hub router via Azure Portal.

You’ll only be able to update your virtual hub router if all the resources (gateways/route tables/VNet connections) in your hub are in a succeeded state. Additionally, as this operation requires deployment of new virtual machine scale sets based virtual hub routers, you’ll face an expected downtime of up to 30 minutes per hub. Within a single Virtual WAN resource, hubs should be updated one at a time instead of updating multiple at the same time. When the Router Version says “Latest”, then the hub is done updating. There will be no routing behavior changes after this update unless you have already configured BGP peering between your Virtual WAN hub and an NVA in a spoke VNet. In this case, you will have to [delete and then recreate the BGP peer](create-bgp-peering-hub-portal.md). Since the virtual hub router's IP addresses change after the upgrade, you will also have to reconfigure your NVA to peer with the virtual hub router's new IP addresses. These IP addresses are represented as the "virtualRouterIps" field in the Virtual Hub's Resource JSON.

You’ll only be able to update your virtual hub router if all the resources (gateways/route tables/VNet connections) in your hub are in a succeeded state. Please make sure all your spoke virtual networks are in active/enabled subscriptions and that your spoke virtual networks are not deleted. Additionally, as this operation requires deployment of new virtual machine scale sets based virtual hub routers, you’ll face an expected downtime of 1-2 minutes for VNet-to-VNet traffic through the same hub and 5-7 minutes for all other traffic flows through the hub. Within a single Virtual WAN resource, hubs should be updated one at a time instead of updating multiple at the same time. When the Router Version says “Latest”, then the hub is done updating. There will be no routing behavior changes after this update unless one of the following is true:

* If any of your spoke virtual networks are located in a different region than the hub, then you will need to delete and recreate these respective VNet connections after performing the upgrade. This will ensure you have connectivity to these spoke VNets.

If the update fails for any reason, your hub will be auto recovered to the old version to ensure there is still a working setup.
