# Recovering an Azure Local Instance with Repave

During Azure Local recovery, you can repave your protected Azure Local instances by replacing the operating system disk with a known clean version. Repaving ensures secure and reliable recovery by eliminating vulnerabilities and malicious changes from the OS.

You can recover with repave to certain cloud service providers. For more information, see Recovery with Repave for VMs/Instances.
