Description

Today, we are extending disk bursting support (in preview) to larger Premium SSD disks sizes (larger than 512 GiB) with a new on-demand experience. Unlike the previous credit-based system where you can only burst if you have accumulated credits, our new on-demand bursting capability allows you to burst up to 6X (up to 30,000 IOPS and 1,000 MB/s of throughput) of the provisioned amount whenever needed. This provides you with the flexibility to scale performance to meet demand and optimize costs
