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.

Azure Site Recovery Now Supports Premium SSD v2: Resilience Meets Performance

Hello Azure Community,

If you’re running critical workloads on Premium SSD v2 disks, there’s good news: Azure Site Recovery (ASR) now supports disaster recovery for VMs using Premium SSD v2, available in public preview.

This is a key step forward for those of us designing high-performance environments that still require robust business continuity strategies. You no longer need to compromise between performance and resilience — now you can have both.

Azure Migrate Adds Support for Ultra SSD: High-Performance Migration Just Got Better

Hello Azure Community,

Another solid improvement is now in public preview — and it’s one that’ll make a real difference for anyone migrating I/O-intensive workloads to Azure: Azure Migrate now supports Ultra SSD as a destination disk type.

For those managing high-performance applications — think SAP HANA, SQL Server, Oracle, or any workload with aggressive latency and throughput requirements — this update gives you the flexibility to bring that performance profile into Azure during migration, right from the start.

Live Resize for Azure Premium SSD v2 and Ultra Disks: Flexibility Without Downtime

Hello Azure Community,

There’s a new capability in public preview that I believe many of you will find both practical and cost-efficient: Live Resize for Premium SSD v2 and Ultra NVMe Disks.

If you’ve ever had to scale storage mid-deployment — or worse, plan for peak storage needs months in advance “just in case” — this is a feature that changes the game. You can now dynamically expand disk capacity with zero downtimefor your applications.

New VM Network Troubleshooter in Azure Portal: Faster Diagnostics, Less Guesswork

Hello Azure Community,

I wanted to share a useful enhancement now available in public preview — especially for those of us who spend way too much time digging into VM connectivity issues. Microsoft has introduced a VM Network Troubleshooter directly in the Azure Portal.

This update brings a lightweight but effective diagnostic tool to the VM Overview blade, helping us quickly identify blocked network ports. It’s a great improvement that makes those “why can’t I connect to my VM?” moments far less frustrating.

Azure Traffic Manager Now Offers 100% SLA for Global DNS Resolution

Hello Azure Community,

I wanted to share a quick update that may seem small at first glance but actually carries significant weight when it comes to availability and trust in your global applications. Azure Traffic Manager has officially raised its SLA for DNS resolution to 100%. Yes, you read that right — 100% SLA for all global DNS queries.

As someone who works closely with clients running multi-region or latency-sensitive applications, I can’t overstate how important this is. DNS resolution is a foundational layer, and knowing it’s now backed by a full SLA gives us a stronger guarantee of reliability — without any action required on our part.

Azure Migrate Now Supports Premium SSD v2 Disks – More Performance, More Flexibility

Hello Azure Community,

Migrating workloads to the cloud requires a balance between performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Azure has taken another step forward by introducing support for Premium SSD v2 disks in Azure Migrate, making it easier for businesses to move high-performance applications while benefiting from the latest storage advancements.

Upgrading Existing Azure Generation 1 Virtual Machines to Trusted Launch

Hello Azure Community,

As cybersecurity threats evolve, ensuring that cloud-based workloads are protected against vulnerabilities is more critical than ever. Microsoft Azure provides Trusted Launch to enhance the security of virtual machines (VMs) with Secure Boot and virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) features, helping to defend against rootkits, firmware attacks, and other sophisticated threats.

Trusted Launch is natively supported on Generation 2 VMs, but organizations running Generation 1 VMs can now upgrade them to benefit from these security enhancements. This guide outlines the necessary steps to perform a smooth transition while minimizing downtime and avoiding configuration issues.

Azure Front Door Premium Expands Private Link Support to New Origin Types

Dear Azure Community,

Azure Front Door Premium has expanded its capabilities by introducing support for additional origin types through Azure Private Link. This enhancement allows organizations to securely integrate services such as Application Gateway, API Management, and Azure Container Apps as origins, ensuring that these services remain inaccessible from the public internet while delivering content through public Front Door endpoints.
