If you are using Azure Service Fabric Cluster, you can leverage the Virtual Machine Scale Set Automatic OS Image Update feature to automatically apply OS updates to the nodes. However, if your cluster is running outside of Azure, you can use an application we have provided to patch the underlying operating systems beneath your Service Fabric nodes.

My Azure Service Fabric Cluster consists of 5 nodes. I'm wondering how the OS updates are delivered to these nodes - does it happen automatically or do I need to take any actions to apply them?

2025-05-30T02:37:59.76+00:00 To enable the Automatic OS image upgrade feature, ensure your node type has a durability level of Silver or higher. If your node type is set to Bronze, consider using the Patch Orchestration Application to manage OS updates.
Note: As you mentioned you have 5 nodes and if you maintain 5 nodes always you can set your durability level to Silver if it is not already.
