Is azure patch management shutting down my machine?

**Describe the bug**
My VM was running for months up until a few days ago. Now something keeps shutting it down and the last thing in the log before the shutdown is always Azure Patch Management?

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. create Ubuntu VM
2. start the machine
3. run something on the machine that pings an Azure table every 60 seconds
4. Make sure it stays running forever

**Expected behavior**
The machine needs to run 24x7

**Screenshots**
This is what I see in the log
