Azure Weekly

Issue #42 - 5th September 2015

Premium Storage, which provides SSD storage to enhance VM performance, is to be rolled out to Central US, East US, North Europe and East Asia in Q4 2015.

The DocumentDB team have released an Azure DocumentDB SQL cheat sheet for the service.

There were new features for Azure Backup for Azure VMs including support for backup with up to 16 data disks as well as the OS disk, a more predictable backup time, support for retention of up to 100 years, better monitoring and reporting, offline VM backup, job cancellation, and the ability to restore to any storage account.

There are two interesting items that don't really fit into any of the newsletters existing categories; episode 91 of the Azure Podcast examines the life of an Azure Architect and on the PluralSight blog, Vishwas Lele takes a useful high-level look at the various building blocks in Azure.

And finally, Matt Dickens from Redgate announced this week that Just Azure is becoming part of SimpleTalk.
