windows update from azure (WSUS)

Does azure AD / MS365 come with any way of managing the windows update (workstations) similar to the functionality of WSUS server? Would that be the Intune solution? How do i enable Intune on my tenant account? Which M365 license includes Intune. ?\
thanks

@JasonGodfrey-5248 Thanks for posting in our Q&A.
For your questions, here are my answers for the reference:
1.I have done some research, from view of Intune, it manages windows update is different from WSUS server. Intune stores only the update policy assignments, not the updates themselves. It means we still need to use your existing update solution such as Windows Update or WSUS to obtain the actual updates:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-update-for-business-configure

2.Intune provides Windows 10 update ring and Windows 10 feature updates to manage updates.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-update-for-business-configure#policy-types-to-manage-updates

3.We can refer to the official article to set up Intune:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/setup-steps

4.Currently Intune is included in the following licenses:
Microsoft 365 E5
Microsoft 365 E3
Enterprise Mobility + Security E5
Enterprise Mobility + Security E3
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Microsoft 365 F1
Microsoft 365 F3
Microsoft 365 Government G5
Microsoft 365 Government G3
Intune for Education

Yes, it is called Windows Update for Business. You can use this with or without Intune. You can control WUfB using a variety of methods including Intune, ConfigMgr, and Group Policy.
