Resilient by Design: Azure Migrate Now Supports ZRS Disks

Hello Azure Community,

If high availability is a core part of your architecture strategy, there’s a new feature in public preview you should take note of — Azure Migrate now supports migration to Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) disks.

This enhancement means that during your migration journey, you can now directly target ZRS-enabled Premium SSD or Standard SSD disks for workloads that require zone-level resiliency. And the best part? Azure Migrate takes care of mapping and migrating eligible disks in supported regions.

ASR Now Supports Trusted Launch VMs on Linux: Secure, Compliant, and Generally Available

Hello Azure Community,

We’ve seen a steady evolution in Azure Site Recovery (ASR) when it comes to secure VM deployments — and now there’s another step forward: ASR support for Azure Trusted Launch VMs running Linux is now generally available.

If you work with high-compliance or security-sensitive workloads, you’ve probably already encountered Trusted Launch, which adds Secure Boot and virtual TPM (vTPM) to your Azure Generation 2 VMs. Until now, this kind of protection with ASR was only available for Windows-based VMs. That gap has been closed.
