Description

Azure Site Recovery now supports replication and disaster recovery for Linux Azure Virtual Machines running on NVMe-enabled Generation 2 VM families, such as the Da/Ea/Fa v6-series and Ebsv5/Ebdsv5 in the Azure-to-Azure scenario. This support is limited to RHEL 9, SLES 15 and Ubuntu 24 distros of Linux. 

This enhancement allows customers to enable disaster recovery and replication for their Azure VMs running high-performance, I/O-intensive workloads (limited to ASR churn support) with the NVMe disk controller. This capability is supported across all Azure public cloud regions.
