Upgrade policies allow for more granular control over the upgrade process, ensuring that your services remain available and responsive during updates. The available upgrade policies are: Automatic, Manual, and Rolling.
Automatic upgrade policy: the scale set makes no guarantees about the order of virtual machines being brought down. The scale set might take down all virtual machines at the same time to perform upgrades. Automatic upgrade policy is best suited for DevTest scenarios where you aren't concerned about the uptime of your instances while making changes to configurations and settings.
Manual upgrade policy: you choose when to update the scale set instances. Nothing happens automatically to the existing virtual machines when changes occur to the scale set model. New instances added to the scale set use the most update-to-date model available. Manual upgrade policy is best suited for workloads where you require more control over when and how instances are updated.
Rolling upgrade policy: the scale set performs updates in batches. You also get more control over the upgrades with settings like batch size, max healthy percentage, prioritizing unhealthy instances and enabling upgrades across availability zones. Rolling upgrade policy is best suited for production workloads that require a set number of instances always be available. Rolling upgrades is safest way to upgrade instances to the latest model without compromising availability and uptime.
