azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Azure NetApp Files Flexible service level

Azure Updates

2025-09-25

Azure NetApp Files Flexible service level is now generally available. It lets you independently configure storage capacity and throughput so you can right-size performance and cost, avoiding overprovisioning by using customizable throughput settings separate from capacity.

k8s: Kubernetes v1.34: Recovery From Volume Expansion Failure (GA)

Kubernetes Official Blog

2025-09-19

Kubernetes v1.34 graduates automated recovery from failed persistent volume expansions to GA. Users can correct an over-sized PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) by reducing the requested size (as long as the new request is still larger than the PV's original capacity) without cluster-admin intervention; consumed quota from a failed expansion is returned automatically. The release also introduces improved observability and error reporting for expansion operations, retries with reduced request rates, and several resizing workflow bug fixes.

Azure announced General Availability of Distributed Tracing V2 for Durable Functions, a robust tracing model that lets developers correlate operations across orchestrations, activities, and durable entities to improve debugging and observability.

azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Confidential computing for Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server

Azure Updates

2025-09-17

Azure Database for PostgreSQL — Flexible Server now generally available with Confidential Computing support, using hardware-based trusted execution environments (TEEs) to protect data while it is being processed.

azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Azure Container Storage v2.0.0 now with NVMe performance boost, open source, and no service fees

Azure Updates

2025-09-16

Azure Container Storage (ACStor) v2.0.0 is now generally available, offering up to 7× higher IOPS and 4× lower latency on local NVMe compared to v1.3.1. The release positions ACStor as the fastest storage option for Azure Kubernetes Service, is open source, and carries no service fees.

k8s: Kubernetes v1.34: Decoupled Taint Manager Is Now Stable

Kubernetes Official Blog

2025-09-15

Kubernetes v1.34 promotes the SeparateTaintEvictionController feature to GA, splitting responsibilities so the node lifecycle controller only applies NoExecute taints while a dedicated taint eviction controller handles pod eviction. This improves code separation, enables easier improvements or custom eviction implementations, and can be disabled via a kube-controller-manager flag. Documentation and a KEP/beta announcement provide more details.

azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Enabling dedicated connections to backends in Azure Application Gateway

Azure Updates

2025-09-15

Azure Application Gateway V2 now generally available: customers can enable dedicated connections from the gateway to backend servers instead of using the default connection reuse behavior.

azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore) same-region replica cluster

Azure Updates

2025-09-12

Azure announced general availability of same-region replica clusters for Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore), allowing you to create a continuously synchronized read-only replica in the same region as the primary cluster to improve read scale and resiliency.

azure: [Launched] Generally Available: Multiple address prefixes for subnets in Azure Virtual Networks

Azure Updates

2025-09-04

Azure announced general availability of multiple address prefixes for subnets in Azure Virtual Networks. Subnets previously allowed only a single address prefix, which constrained scale for some applications when address space was exhausted. The GA feature lets subnets hold more than one prefix, enabling larger address ranges and greater flexibility for scaling and IP management.
