+
+**Applies to:** :heavy_check_mark: Windows VMs :heavy_check_mark: Linux VMs :heavy_check_mark: On-premises environment :heavy_check_mark: Azure Arc-enabled servers.
+
+This article provides the details on how to integrate [Azure Update Manager](overview.md) with your [SQL virtual machines](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/manage-sql-vm-portal?view=azuresql-vm&branch=main) resource for your [SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs)](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/sql-server-on-azure-vm-iaas-what-is-overview?view=azuresql-vm&branch=main)
+
+## Overview
+
+[Azure Update Manager](overview.md) is a unified service that allows you to manage and govern updates for all your Windows and Linux virtual machines across your deployments in Azure, on-premises, and on the other cloud platforms from a single dashboard. 
+
+Azure Update Manager designed as a standalone Azure service to provide SaaS experience to manage hybrid environments in Azure.
+
+Using Azure Update Manager you can manage and govern updates for all your SQL Server instances at scale. Unlike with [Automated Patching](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/automated-patching?view=azuresql-vm&branch=main), Update Manager installs cumulative updates for SQL server.
