 As of April 2019, Azure offers RHEL images that are connected to Extended Update Support (EUS) repositories by default and RHEL images that come connected to the regular (non-EUS) repositories by default. More details on RHEL EUS are available in Red Hat's [version lifecycle documentation](https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata) and [EUS documentation](https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-eus). The default behavior of `sudo yum update` will vary depending which RHEL image you provisioned from, as different images are connected to different repositories.

 ### Images connected to non-EUS repositories
 
 If you provision a VM from a RHEL image that is connected to non-EUS repositories, you will be upgraded to the latest RHEL minor version when you run `sudo yum update`. For example, if you provision a VM from an RHEL 7.4 PAYG image and run `sudo yum update`, you end up with an RHEL 7.8 VM (the latest minor version in the RHEL7 family).
 
 Images that are connected to non-EUS repositories will not contain a minor version number in the SKU. The SKU is the third element in the URN (full name of the image). For example, all of the following images come attached to non-EUS repositories:
 
-```text

 ### Images connected to EUS repositories
 
 If you provision a VM from a RHEL image that is connected to EUS repositories, you will not be upgraded to the latest RHEL minor version when you run `sudo yum update`. This is because the images connected to EUS repositories are also version-locked to their specific minor version.
 
 Images connected to EUS repositories will contain a minor version number in the SKU. For example, all of the following images come attached to EUS repositories:
