Announcing the General Availability of instant access
support for incremental snapshots of Premium SSD v2 (Pv2) and Ultra Disk. This
new capability enables you to restore new disks immediately after creating
snapshots of Pv2 and Ultra disks. Newly restored disks deliver high performance
instantly, while data hydration continues rapidly in the background.
Instant access snapshots accelerate backup and recovery
workflows, enabling faster environment refreshes and rapid scaling. Common use
cases include:
- Create
instant backups before software updates and revert quickly if
needed.
- Quickly
scale stateful applications by creating multiple copies of primary data
for new instances, such as adding read-only SQL Server replicas.
- Rapid
nightly refresh of training or testing environments from the production.
