Azure NetApp Files volume enhancement: Enabling identical file paths for volumes across multiple availability zones – Public preview | Microsoft Azure Updates



Azure NetApp Files has introduced a new enhancement that allows the use of the same volume mount path for multiple volumes within the same region, as long as each volume is located in a different availability zone. This feature is particularly beneficial for high availability architectures that utilize cross-zone replication, as it enables the use of a common mount path for both the source and target volumes. By simplifying automation and reducing manual effort during failover and disaster recovery events, this enhancement can help organizations achieve shorter recovery time objectives and improve data availability for their applications and data. Additionally, this enhancement can be applied to regular volumes that do not participate in cross-zone replication, making it useful for scenarios involving host-based replication or for test/development environments that require consistent mount paths. This enhancement is available for SMB, NFS, and dual protocol volumes. For more information, refer to the links provided below.
