Azure Updates

We are announcing the public preview of Edit network features with no downtime for Azure NetApp Files volumes. Standard Network Features provide you with an enhanced Virtual Networking experience for a seamless and consistent experience along with security posture for Azure NetApp Files.  

You are now able to edit existing Azure NetApp Files volumes and upgrade Basic network features to Standard network features with no downtime. This feature is currently in preview in the 5 regions. We will be expanding to other regions. 

Upon choosing Standard network features, you can now take advantage of following features for Azure NetApp Files volumes/delegated subnets:  

• Increased IP limits for the VNets with Azure NetApp Files volumes on par with VMs, eliminating the need for you to rearchitect your network topologies. 

• Enhanced network security with support for Network Security Groups on the Azure NetApp Files delegated subnet.   

• Enhanced network control with support for User-defined routes to and from Azure NetApp Files delegated subnets.  

• Connectivity over Active/Active VPN gateway setup for highly available connectivity to ANF from on-prem.
