Generally Available: Configure AKS backup using a single Azure CLI command

Azure Backup now provides a simplified experience to configure backup for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters using a single Azure CLI command.
Enabling backup for AKS clusters through CLI requires multiple manual steps, including installation of the Backup extension, provisioning of storage resources, creation of backup vaults and policies, enabling Trusted Access between the cluster and vault, and initialization of the backup instance.

To simplify this backup configuration, Microsoft provides an alternate approach to enable backup protection for an AKS cluster by running a single command.

This command automatically performs the required configuration workflow by:

• Installing the Backup extension (if required)
• Creating or reusing backup storage resources
• Creating or reusing a backup vault and policy
• Enabling Trusted Access between the backup vault and AKS cluster
• Initializing and creating the backup instance
  You can optionally provide a backup configuration file to use existing backup vaults, policies, or storage accounts during configuration.

Generally Available: User and group quota reports in Azure NetApp Files
For organizations leveraging individual user and group quotas in Azure NetApp Files to manage capacity on NFS, SMB, and dual-protocol volumes, the user and group quota reporting feature offers clear visibility into key metrics such as quota limits, used capacity, and percentage utilization for each target user and group of a quota rule. Administrators can view quota usage reports in the portal, download a quota report, and modify quota rules directly within the Azure portal for any volume with quota rules—removing the previous dependency on host-based tools and the need to mount the volume for reporting. This feature is supported in all regions where Azure NetApp Files is available.
