    There is no official guaranteed or defined SLA for the reboot duration of a VM.
    The official SLA of a VM is for the "Monthly Uptime Percentage per month".

    Maybe this is helpful.

    The best way to protect an application that's running on Azure against VM reboots and downtime is to configure the VMs for high availability.

    To provide this level of redundancy to your application, we recommend that you group two or more VMs in an availability set. This configuration ensures that during either a planned or unplanned maintenance event, at least one VM is available and meets the 99.95 percent Azure SLA.

    For more information about availability sets, see Manage the availability of VMs
