Can you upgrade / upgrade your Azure VM operating system in place?

Is there a way to do an in-place upgrade of the Azure VM OS, from within the Azure Portal?
i.e. from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2016

Nope. According to the official article:

Microsoft does not support updating the Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine operating system. Instead, you should create a new Azure Virtual Machine on which the supported version of the operating system that is required is installed, and then reconfigure the workload.

Instead, use the Windows Server Migration Tools to help you migrate roles and features:

No, there is no such opportunity to update the OS on Azure VM (and not what I heard about this in the future, who knows).
