VMs are eligible to receive infrastructure and hypervisor updates as they
become available. This may result in more maintenance operations (live
migrations or terminations) for the VM than the PERIODIC andRECURRENT options.
Recurrent
VMs receive infrastructure and hypervisor updates on a periodic basis,
minimizing the number of maintenance operations (live migrations or
terminations) on an individual VM. This may mean a VM will take longer
to receive an update than if it was configured forAS_NEEDED. Security updates will still be applied as soon
as they are available. RECURRENT is used for GEN3 and Slice
of Hardware VMs.
