Description

We are announcing the general availability 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 available in all Azure NetApp Files enabled regions.

 

Upon choosing Standard network features, you can now take advantage of the below supported following new 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. 

  • ExpressRoute FastPath connectivity to Azure NetApp Files. FastPath is designed to improve the data path performance (low latency and high bandwidth connectivity) between on-premises network and Azure virtual network.
