April 2026: Implemented a critical compatibility fix for the QEMU Guest Agent in azurelinux-security/azurelinux. Replaced the deprecated --blacklist option with --block-rpcs in the qemu-guest-agent configuration to ensure reliable startup and compatibility with QEMU 9.1. This change prevents startup failures caused by deprecated configuration and aligns with the updated virtualization stack, reducing risk for VM workloads and potential support incidents. The change was committed as ab72f48998d37fb13d6ab16889f3a253ddcb85fd with message 'Fix qemu-guest-agent startup failure by replacing --blacklist with --block-rpcs (#16275)'.
