Generally Available: Azure Elastic SAN Feature Updates

Customers can now delete unused space on their SANs and scale down as needed. For example, if a customer realizes that they don’t need as much capacity as they initially thought they did, they can scale down by deleting space that they haven’t used at the SAN level. Note that you cannot reduce the size of your Elastic SAN volumes, the scale down operation can only happen at the SAN level.

We have also released diagnostic logging capabilities. Using this, you can configure the diagnostic settings of your Elastic SAN to send Azure platform logs and metrics to different destinations. Currently, there are two log configurations:

• All - Every resource log offered by the resource.
• Audit - All resource logs that record customer interactions with data or the settings of the service. Audit logs are an attempt by each resource provider to provide the most relevant audit data, but might not be considered sufficient from an auditing standards perspective.

Available log categories:

• Write Success Requests
• Write Failed Requests
• Read Success Requests
• Read Failed Requests
• Persistent Reservation Requests
• SendTargets Requests

Additionally, we have expanded our coverage into the following LRS regions - South Central US, Norway East, UAE North, India Central, South Africa North, and Norway East.
