+> Due to the tiered architecture of Azure Premium Files, the latency accessing metadata of the files stored in shares is significantly higher than with Azure NetApp Files. This higher latency can impact for instance mass creation and deletion of files. But it can also have noticeable impact on the time it takes to list the content of large directories, containing hundreds of thousands of files. The main use case we see this higher metadata latency affecting is the usage as interface share where customers can encounter hundreds of thousands or even millions of file creations and mass deletions every day. Therefore, you should test the interface share scenarios diligently.
