Why each option
vSphere Update Manager supports orchestrated VM remediation specifically for upgrading VMware Tools and upgrading virtual machine hardware compatibility levels.
Upgrading virtual machine hardware (the vmx hardware version) is one of the two supported VM remediation actions in VUM, allowing orchestrated compatibility level upgrades across many VMs using baselines.
Upgrading VMware Tools is the other core VM remediation action supported by VUM, enabling automated and orchestrated installation of the latest VMware Tools across a fleet of virtual machines using patch baselines.
Virtual appliance upgrades are handled as a separate appliance upgrade category in VUM and are not classified under the virtual machine orchestrated upgrade remediation workflow.
vSphere Update Manager does not manage or patch guest operating systems - guest OS patching is handled by separate tools such as WSUS, SCCM, or third-party patch management solutions.
