 Learn how to use the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) component of Azure Boost to improve the performance and availability of virtual machines (VMs) in Azure. MANA is a next-generation network interface that provides stable forward-compatible device drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems. MANA hardware and software are engineered by Microsoft and take advantage of the latest advancements in cloud networking technology.
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> MANA is currently in preview. For legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, in preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability, see the [Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/).

 ## Compatibility
 
-MANA supports several VM operating systems. Although your VM might be running a supported operating system, you might need to update the kernel (Linux) or install drivers (Windows).
+MANA supports several VM operating systems. Although your VM might be running a supported operating system, you might need to update the kernel (Linux) or install drivers (Windows) to leverage MANA or the latest features. 
 
-MANA maintains feature parity with previous Azure networking features. VMs run on hardware with both Mellanox and MANA NICs, so existing `mlx4` and `mlx5` support still need to be present.

 ### Supported Azure Marketplace images
 
-Several [Azure Marketplace](/marketplace/azure-marketplace-overview) images have built-in support for the Ethernet driver in MANA.

 ## Evaluating performance
 
 Differences in VM types, operating systems, applications, and tuning parameters can affect network performance in Azure. For this reason, we recommend that you benchmark and test your workloads to achieve the expected network performance.
