"Who run the world? Girls!" Join me and Shannon Kuehn and I take over Pierre's AZUpdate broadcast. In case you didn't know, Shannon has a new role at Microsoft and will give us an update on all things Identity.
We will be going over some recent updates from the Microsoft realm like:
Rehydrating an archived blob to a different storage account is now Generally Available
Rehydrate Archive Blob
As long as the destination account is in the same region as your source, you can rehydrate an archived blob to a completely different storage account. This is a great use case for copying production data into your development environment or by keeping your storage accounts separate (production vs backup). The target blob for the copy operation must be in an online tier (Hot or Cool). You cannot copy an archived blob to a destination blob that is also in the Archive tier.
Azure Purview is now Microsoft Purview
Azure Purview combines with Microsoft 365 Compliance
Microsoft created Microsoft Purview because Azure Purview and Microsoft 365 compliance were used together to ensure consistent application data and simplify understanding your sensitive data. It made sense to announce Microsoft Purview to bring Azure Purview and the Microsoft 365 compliance portfolio under one offering and brand for end users. This enables governance across the entire dataset. Watch the video to hear more.
