@lokal17hAzure Virtual Network Routing Appliance – a first lookAzure Virtual Network Routing Appliance (AVNRA) is a new Azure networking service in public preview, designed for high throughput, low latency east-west traffic flows. It can be deployed in Azure with limited documentation and supports bandwidth options of 50, 100, or 200Gbps. AVNRA addresses transitive routing challenges between Azure virtual networks, but it does not replace firewalls as it lacks security inspection and logging capabilities. Deployment is straightforward, but it has limited features such as no Private Link, IPv6, or Global VNet peering support. The current use cases are niche, and its adoption will depend on future pricing and additional features.

@lokal13dAzure outages ripple across multiple dependent servicesMicrosoft Azure experienced two outages in two days, affecting Virtual Machine management operations and Managed Identity for Azure resources. The Managed Identity outage impacted East US and West US regions for six hours, affecting multiple dependent services. The Virtual Machine outage was due to a configuration change that restricted public access to certain storage accounts. These incidents highlight the interdependencies between cloud services and the need for thorough testing before deployment.
