Microsoft Azure 2018 年 1 月の Update

はやいもので、もう 2018 年も 1 月経ってしまいましたね。。。
思い返すと、Managed Disk って去年の1月だったんだよなーって思うと、1年って本当にあっという間だなって思いますし、1年ってすごく遠い過去のような気もします。

そんだけ、Azure の機能が増えてるってことですけど。

ということで、いつものように
2018 年 1 月のAzure の Update の情報です。

まとめ

今月は地味に大切な GA が多かったような気がします。

一番印象的だったのは、ZRS まわりのアナウンスですね。
昨年、Availavility Zone がプレビューになって、その仕組みの中で一番効果が大きいストレージとVMSSに展開されてきたのはいい流れだと思います。

あと、サービスエンドポイントの GA がとても速かったですね。
これによって、Stroage と SQL Database がプライベートなネットワークのみの接続に制限できるので、日本の企業に喜ばれるような気がします。
でも、App Service で使うってなると ASE を使わないときっとダメですよね。。。

AAD の認証でいけんもんかなー。
