We are announcing the public preview 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 currently in preview in the Australia East, Central India, North Central US, and Switzerland North regions. We will be expanding to other 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 to enable customers to provision volumes in their existing topologies/architectures, 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. NSGs on the delegated subnets have been a long-standing requirement from customers to meet enterprise security needs.
- Enhanced network control with support for User-defined routes to and from Azure NetApp Files delegated subnets. You can now direct the traffic to and from volumes via your choice of Network Virtual Appliances for traffic inspection.
- 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.
