Answer
Go to Redeploy blad and click the Redeploy button.
Azure periodically performs updates to improve the reliability, performance, and security of the host infrastructure for virtual machines. Updates are changes like patching the hosting environment or upgrading and decommissioning hardware. A majority of these updates are completed without any impact to the hosted virtual machines. However, there are cases where updates do have an impact.
Once a notification goes out, a self-service window is made available. During this window, you can query which of your virtual machines are affected and start maintenance based on your own scheduling needs. The self-service window is typically about 35 days.
Self-service maintenance might not be available for all of your VMs. To determine if proactive redeploy is available for your VM, look for the Start now in the maintenance status. Self-service maintenance is currently not available for Cloud Services (Web/Worker Role) and Service Fabric.
