Highlights ⭐️

Governance

  • Azure policy support for Azure Site Recovery (GA)  
    • You can now use Azure Policy to enable Azure Site Recovery for your virtual machines (VMs) at scale and ensure organisational standards. Once you have a Disaster Recovery policy created for a given subscription or resource group(s), all new VMs that are added to that subscription or resource group(s) will have Azure Site Recovery enabled automatically. You can do the same for existing VMs in your resource group(s) through Policy Remediation.

Monitoring

    • Log alerts with one-minute frequency, the alert query will be evaluated every minute to check the condition, reducing the overall time to fire of a log alert.
