Flexible service level in Azure NetApp Files allows customers to
independently configure storage capacity and throughput, making it ideal for
workloads with unique performance and sizing requirements—such as high-capacity
volumes with low throughput or low-capacity volumes with high throughput. This
flexibility helps optimize performance and cost across diverse application
scenarios.
With the addition of cool access support, customers can now
configure volumes in Flexible service level capacity pools to automatically
tier cold data to Azure storage accounts. This reduces storage costs by
offloading infrequently accessed data to a lower-cost tier, while maintaining
seamless access and performance for active data. Cool access also supports
cross-region replication for destination-only volumes, ensuring data protection
without impacting source latency. This enhancement is available in all ANF
regions.
