Azure NetApp Files Enhances Volume Management and Disaster Recovery

Hello Azure Community,

Microsoft has introduced significant enhancements to Azure NetApp Files, aiming to improve storage efficiency and disaster recovery strategies.

Strengthening Data Security in Azure NetApp Files with Customer-Managed Keys
