 The following features have known limitations in Azure Government:
 
 - Limitations with B2B Collaboration in supported Azure US Government tenants:
-    - B2B Collaboration is available in most Azure US Government tenants created after June 2019. Over time, more tenants will get access to this functionality. See [How can I tell if B2B collaboration is available in my Azure US Government tenant?](../active-directory/external-identities/current-limitations.md#how-can-i-tell-if-b2b-collaboration-is-available-in-my-azure-us-government-tenant)
-    - B2B collaboration is supported between tenants that are both within Azure US Government cloud and that both support B2B collaboration. Azure US Government tenants that support B2B collaboration can also collaborate with social users using Microsoft, Google accounts, or email one-time passcode accounts. If you invite a user outside of these groups (for example, if the user is in a tenant that isn't part of the Azure US Government cloud or doesn't yet support B2B collaboration), the invitation will fail or the user will be unable to redeem the invitation.
+    - For more information about B2B collaboration limitations in Azure Government and to find out if B2B collaboration is available in your Azure Government tenant, see [Limitations of Azure AD B2B collaboration](../active-directory/external-identities/current-limitations.md#azure-us-government-clouds).
     - B2B collaboration via Power BI is not supported. When you invite a guest user from within Power BI, the B2B flow is not used and the guest user won't appear in the tenant's user list. If a guest user is invited through other means, they'll appear in the Power BI user list, but any sharing request to the user will fail and display a 403 Forbidden error.
     - Microsoft 365 Groups are not supported for B2B users and can't be enabled.
 
-- Limitations with SQL tools:
-    - Some SQL tools such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) require you to set the appropriate cloud parameter. In the tool's Azure service setup options, set the cloud parameter to Azure Government.
-
 - Limitations with multifactor authentication:
     - Hardware OATH tokens are not available in Azure Government.
     - Trusted IPs are not supported in Azure Government. Instead, use Conditional Access policies with named locations to establish when multifactor authentication should and should not be required based off the user's current IP address.

-**Storage pairing in Azure Government**</br>
-Azure relies on [paired regions](../best-practices-availability-paired-regions.md) to deliver [geo-redundant storage](../storage/common/storage-redundancy.md). The following table shows the primary and secondary region pairings in Azure Government.
-
-|Geography|Regional Pair A|Regional Pair B|

-|US Government|US Gov Arizona|US Gov Texas|
-|US Government|US Gov Virginia|US Gov Texas|
-
-Table in [Guidance for developers](#guidance-for-developers) section shows URL endpoints for main Azure Storage services.

-> [!NOTE]
-> All your scripts and code need to account for the appropriate endpoints. See [**Configure Azure Storage Connection Strings**](../storage/common/storage-configure-connection-string.md).
-
-For more information on APIs, see [Cloud Storage Account Constructor](/java/api/com.microsoft.azure.storage.cloudstorageaccount.cloudstorageaccount).
-
-The endpoint suffix to use in these overloads is *core.usgovcloudapi.net*.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If error 53 ("The network path was not found") is returned while you're [**mounting the file share**](../storage/files/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-files.md), a firewall might be blocking the outbound port. Try mounting the file share on VM that's in the same Azure subscription as the storage account.

-When you're deploying the **StorSimple** Manager service, use the [https://portal.azure.us/](https://portal.azure.us/) URL for the Azure Government portal.

For the StorSimple 8000 series, see [StorSimple software, high availability, and networking requirements](../storsimple/storsimple-8000-system-requirements.md) and go to the **Deploy** section from the left menu.
