 * [Flexible service level](azure-netapp-files-set-up-capacity-pool.md) (preview)
 
     The [Flexible service level](azure-netapp-files-service-levels.md) allows you to independently configure storage capacity and throughput, optimizing costs by right-sizing according to storage and performance requirements. With separate pricing for capacity and throughput, the Flexible service level prevents overprovisioning and supports up to 640 MB/sec per TiB. This throughput is five times the performance of the Ultra service level, making ideal for demanding workloads and offering higher throughput for smaller capacity pools and adapting to changing requirements without the need for volume moves. 
 
     The Flexible service level is only supported with _new_ manual QoS capacity pools. The Flexible service level offers a minimum throughput of 128 MiB/s and a maximum of 640 MiB/s per TiB. This new service level is suitable for applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA and for creating high-capacity volumes with low throughput needs. You can adjust throughput and size limits independently, ensuring flexibility and precise scaling to meet their price-performance requirements.

 * [Application volume group for Oracle](application-volume-group-oracle-introduction.md) is now generally available (GA)
 
     Application volume group for Oracle enables you to deploy all volumes required to install and operate Oracle databases at enterprise scale, with optimal performance and according to best practices in a single one-step and optimized workflow. The application volume group feature uses the Azure NetApp Files ability to place all volumes in the same availability zone as the VMs to achieve automated, latency-optimized deployments. Azure NetApp Files application volume group shortens Oracle database deployment time and increases overall application performance and stability, including the use of multiple storage endpoints. The application volume group feature supports a wide range of Oracle database layouts from small databases with a single volume up to multi 100-TiB sized databases. Application volume group for Oracle is supported in all Azure NetApp Files-enabled regions.
