All OS updates, firmware and driver updates of the nodes can now be completed in the Azure portal with the latest update in the Dell branded AL infrastructure. Previously, an admin would have to patch the nodes with a Dell extension in WAC, then patch the guests via Azure ARC update manager. Now, in can all be done in Azure.
