 ## Private cloud providers
 Currently, private cloud providers differ in how they perform Arc resource bridge upgrades. Review the following information to see how to upgrade your Arc resource bridge for a specific provider.
 
-For **Arc-enabled VMware vSphere**, manual upgrade is available, but appliances on version 1.0.15 and higher automatically receive cloud-managed upgrade as the default experience. Appliances that are earlier than version 1.0.15 must be manually upgraded. A manual upgrade only upgrades the appliance to the next version, not the latest version. If you have multiple versions to upgrade, another option is to review the steps for [performing a recovery](/azure/azure-arc/vmware-vsphere/recover-from-resource-bridge-deletion), then delete the appliance VM and perform the recovery steps. This deploys a new Arc resource bridge using the latest version and reconnects pre-existing Azure resources.
+For **Arc-enabled VMware vSphere**, manual upgrade and cloud upgrade are available. Appliances on version 1.0.15 and higher are automatically opted-in to cloud-managed upgrade. With cloud-managed upgrade, Microsoft may attempt to upgrade your Arc resource bridge at any time if it is on an appliance version that will soon be out-of-support. In order for either upgrade options to work, the upgrade prerequisites must be met. While Microsoft offers cloud-managed upgrade, you’re still responsible for checking that your resource bridge is healthy, online, in a "Running" status, and within the supported n-3 versions. Disruptions could cause cloud-managed upgrades to fail.  Appliances that are earlier than version 1.0.15 must be manually upgraded.

 For **Azure Arc VM management (preview) on Azure Stack HCI**, to use appliance version 1.0.15 or higher, you must be on Azure Stack HCI, version 23H2 (preview). In version 23H2 (preview), the LCM tool manages upgrades across all HCI, Arc resource bridge, and extension components as a "validated recipe" package. Attempting to upgrade Arc resource bridge independent of other HCI environment components by using the `az arcappliance upgrade` command may cause problems in your environment that could result in a disaster recovery scenario. For more information, visit the [Arc VM management FAQ page](/azure-stack/hci/manage/azure-arc-vms-faq). Customers on Azure Stack HCI, version 22H2 will receive limited support.

 ## Cloud-managed upgrade
 
-As a Microsoft-managed product, Arc resource bridges on a supported [private cloud provider](#private-cloud-providers) with an appliance version 1.0.15 or higher are automatically opted into cloud-manaaged upgrade. With cloud-managed upgrade, Microsoft manages the upgrade of your Arc resource bridge to be within supported versions, as long as the prerequisites are met. If prerequisites are not met, then cloud managed upgrade will fail.

-While Microsoft manages the upgrade of your Arc resource bridge, it's still important for you to ensure that your resource bridge is healthy, online, in a `Running` status, and on a supported version. To do so, run the `az arcappliance show` command from your management machine, or check the Azure resource of your Arc resource bridge. If your appliance VM isn't in a healthy state, cloud-managed upgrade might fail, and your version may become unsupported.

 Cloud-managed upgrades are handled through Azure. A notification is pushed to Azure to reflect the state of the appliance VM as it upgrades. As the resource bridge progresses through the upgrade, its status might switch back and forth between different upgrade steps. Upgrade is complete when the appliance VM `status` is `Running` and `provisioningState` is `Succeeded`.

 ## Version releases
 
-The Arc resource bridge version is tied to the versions of underlying components used in the appliance image, such as the Kubernetes version. When there's a change in the appliance image, the Arc resource bridge version gets incremented. This generally happens when a new `az arcappliance` CLI extension version is released. A new extension is typically released on a monthly cadence at the end of the month. For detailed release info, see the [Arc resource bridge release notes](https://github.com/Azure/ArcResourceBridge/releases) on GitHub.
