 ### Auto-recovery
 
-The Azure platform is designed to handle host node issues with minimal impact on VM performance. When a host node encounters a problem, Azure first attempts the least disruptive recovery method, which is to reboot the host. If rebooting the host isn't possible or if the issue is hardware-related, Azure initiates an automatic recovery action to take the faulty host out of rotation for further investigation. As part of this automatic recovery, a process known as service healing will automatically relocate all VMs on the faulty host to another healthy one. This process is usually completed within 15 minutes, although the recovery time can vary depending on factors such as the host's memory size and used recovery methods. Service healing is typically used as a last resort for hardware failures to ensure that VMs continue to operate without significant downtime.

 ### VM crashes
 
-VMs might restart due to internal VM issues or hardware issues as described above such as an OS disk issue. The workloads or role running on the VM might trigger a bug check in the guest OS. To find the crash reason, check system and application logs for Windows VMs, and serial logs for Linux VMs. Collecting a memory dump is usually the best way to identify the root cause.

 In rare circumstances, a widespread issue can affect multiple servers in an Azure datacenter. If this issue occurs, the Azure team sends email notifications to the affected subscriptions. You can check the [Azure Service Health dashboard](https://azure.microsoft.com/status/) and the Azure portal for the status of ongoing outages and past incidents.
