Azure Files geo-redundancy for large file shares preview significantly improves capacity and performance for standard SMB file shares when using geo-redundant storage (GRS) and geo-zone redundant storage (GZRS) options. The preview is only available for standard SMB Azure file shares. For more information, see [Azure Files geo-redundancy for large file shares preview](geo-redundant-storage-for-large-file-shares.md).

#### New SLA of 99.99 percent uptime for Azure Files Premium Tier is generally available
23
+
24
+
Azure Files now offers a 99.99 percent SLA per file share for all Azure Files Premium shares, regardless of protocol (SMB, NFS, and REST) or redundancy type. This means that you can benefit from this SLA immediately, without any configuration changes or extra costs. If the availability drops below the guaranteed 99.99 percent uptime, you’re eligible for service credits.

#### Azure Active Directory support for Azure Files REST API with OAuth authentication is in public preview

This preview enables share-level read and write access to SMB Azure file shares for users, groups, and managed identities when accessing file share data through the REST API. Cloud native and modern applications that use REST APIs can utilize identity-based authentication and authorization to access file shares. For more information, [read the blog post](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-storage-blog/public-preview-introducing-azure-ad-support-for-azure-files-smb/ba-p/3826733).

Azure Files customers can now use identity-based Kerberos authentication for Linux clients over SMB using either on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS). For more information, see [Enable Active Directory authentication over SMB for Linux clients accessing Azure Files](storage-files-identity-auth-linux-kerberos-enable.md).

Nconnect is a client-side Linux mount option that increases performance at scale by allowing you to use more TCP connections between the Linux client and the Azure Premium Files service for NFSv4.1. With nconnect, you can increase performance at scale using fewer client machines to reduce total cost of ownership. For more information, see [Improve NFS Azure file share performance with nconnect](nfs-nconnect-performance.md).
