      We wonder whether the inline update is now appropriate for an Azure pfSense plus installation. The official documentation still advises against an inline update:

      Since a real system console is not available, a definitive recovery process for failures during upgrades would be difficult to define.

      In fact, a virtual serial console has been available in Azure for some versions (it didn't work before) and it works (for us) all the time.

      Is the argument now invalidated and could the official stance be changed? Is Netgate willing to change the official documentation on this topic?

        It should probably be re-assessed. As you say an interactive serial console is available for Azure installs.

        I have tested upgrading to 23.09.1 in Azure and never saw any issues.
