To ensure preparedness and minimize the impact of incidents, it's essential to follow the proactive recommendations outlined in this unit. These actions help you understand our incident communication process, locate pertinent information, and configure notifications to receive timely updates. Evaluating the resilience of your applications and implementing recommended measures create more reliable workloads, which reduces the potential impact of an incident.

[Scheduled events](/azure/virtual-machines/linux/scheduled-events) is another great tool. Both alerts types decribed previously notify people or systems, but scheduled events notify the resources themselves. This approach can give your application time to prepare for virtual machine maintenance or one of our automated service healing events. It provides a signal about an imminent maintenance event, for example, an upcoming reboot, so that your application can know that and then act to limit disruption. Your application might drop itself out of the pool or otherwise degrade gracefully. Scheduled events are available for all Azure Virtual Machine types including PaaS and IaaS on both Windows and Linux.

Customers don't need to contact support for updates. They receive regular updates by using Service Health and their Service health alerts. Support engineers don't have access to any more detailed information than what is provided to affected customers. If customers read the updates from engineering but require support to respond to the incident, such as to implement their failover plans, they can and should raise a support ticket.
