If you’re planning to upgrade your SBE to version 2507, it’s important to ensure that the 2025.04 Feature Update is installed first. This step is crucial to prevent any conflicts during the upgrade process. Once you’ve successfully installed the feature update, you can proceed with upgrading SBE to 2507 without worry.
Now, if you’re wondering whether you need to stop your workloads when installing the feature update using Azure Update Manager, here’s what you need to know. Even if you don’t have the Cluster-Aware Updates (CAU) role installed, the update process for a two-node cluster is designed to be smooth and not interfere with your running workloads, especially if they are set up for high availability.
The system will intelligently handle the update by migrating workloads from one node to another while applying updates. This means there’s no need to manually stop or shift workloads yourselves if they are configured correctly. The built-in update orchestrator will manage live migrations for virtual machines that are HA-enabled, keeping your services running without interruptions.
That said, it’s always a good idea to schedule these updates during a planned maintenance window. Doing so ensures that everything proceeds smoothly and minimizes any unexpected issues.
