Public Preview: Service Bus SDK type bindings in Azure Functions for Node.js

Azure Functions triggers and bindings enable you to easily integrate event and data sources with function applications.

Now that SDK type bindings support for Azure Blob Storage is available, we’re also introducing support for Service Bus SDK type bindings in your Node.js function apps.

This means in JavaScript or TypeScript function apps you can now interact with a ServiceBusMessageContext type offering advanced messaging functionality.

Public Preview: Use Azure SRE Agent with Azure Cosmos DB
You can now simplify how you diagnose and resolve issues in your applications running on Azure Cosmos DB with the introduction of the Azure Cosmos DB Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Agent, built on the Azure SRE Agent platform. This new capability gives you deeper visibility into the health and performance of your database workloads by combining client-side telemetry with server-side diagnostics, allowing you to identify problems faster and understand them more clearly.

Using the Azure Cosmos DB SRE Agent, you receive recommendations that help you improve performance, strengthen security, and optimize cost. Instead of only detecting issues, the agent guides you through best practices tailored to your workload. You can use it to understand why throttling may be occurring, how configuration choices impact performance or reliability, or whether your application is encountering hidden connectivity challenges.

Public Preview: Azure NetApp Files advanced ransomware protection
Azure NetApp Files advanced ransomware protection (ANF ARP) is now in Public Preview. ANF ARP is designed to help organizations proactively detect, respond to, and recover from ransomware threats on cloud volumes. ANF ARP monitors Azure NetApp Files volumes for suspicious activity using file extension profiling, entropy, and IOPS patterns. When a threat is detected, the system creates a point-in-time snapshot, enabling rapid evaluation and recovery. Notifications are sent via Azure Activity log and attack reports are retained for 30 days. There is no specific additional charge for ANF ARP but see Considerations section when sizing your deployment to accommodate ANF ARP.

Azure NetApp Files advanced ransomware protection is now Public Preview in all regions.
