As a temporary solution, we switched the agent version to windows-2019, and it worked well until midnight. We noticed the change in the image from (Current image version: '20240730.1.0') to (Current image version: '20240811.1.0'). Could you direct me to where I can find the release notes for the '20240811.1.0' version? if there have been any changes introduced in this image related to the deserialization in 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Governance.PolicyService.Models.Policy.PolicyParameterDefinition'. thanks in advance.
