-## Issue fixed
+## Updated
 
-* Default DB bug fix.
+* MSI based authentication support available for Azure blob storage.
+
+Azure HDInsight now supports OAuth-based authentication for accessing Azure Blob storage by leveraging Azure Active Directory (AAD) and managed identities (MSI). With this enhancement, HDInsight uses user-assigned managed identities to access Azure blob storage. For more information about managed identities. For more information, see [Managed identities for Azure resources](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview).

 * [Basic and Standard A-series VMs Retirement](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/basic-and-standard-aseries-vms-on-hdinsight-will-retire-on-31-august-2024/).
    * On August 31, 2024, we'll retire Basic and Standard A-series VMs. Before that date, you need to migrate your workloads to Av2-series VMs, which provide more memory per vCPU and faster storage on solid-state drives (SSDs).
    * To avoid service disruptions, [migrate your workloads](https://aka.ms/Av1retirement) from Basic and Standard A-series VMs to Av2-series VMs before August 31, 2024.
+
+* HDInsight service is transitioning to use standard load balancers for all its cluster configurations because of [deprecation announcement](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/azure-basic-load-balancer-will-be-retired-on-30-september-2025-upgrade-to-standard-load-balancer#main) of Azure basic load balancer.
+  * This change will be rolled out in a phased manner for different regions between November 07, 2024 and November 21, 2024. Watch out our release notes for more updates.

 * Retirement Notifications for [HDInsight 4.0](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/azure-hdinsight-40-will-be-retired-on-31-march-2025-migrate-your-hdinsight-clusters-to-51) and  [HDInsight 5.0](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/hdinsight5retire/).
