More Power, Less Friction: Premium SSD v2 Now Supports Non-Zonal VMs
Azure’s high-performance storage landscape just became significantly more accessible. For developers and cloud architects, the architectural constraints of Availability Zones (AZs) often added a layer of complexity to single-instance deployments that didn’t necessarily require zonal redundancy. Now, that barrier has been removed.
The latest update brings Premium SSD v2 support to non-zonal, single-instance Azure Virtual Machines in select regions. This allows you to leverage industry-leading throughput and sub-millisecond latency without the overhead of manual AZ selection. It’s the perfect solution for workloads that demand extreme performance and high disk-count flexibility while maintaining operational simplicity. By decoupling the latest storage technology from zonal requirements, Azure is providing the agility needed for modern, data-intensive applications.
