CBS 6.8.7 released

This version brings several updates to Cloud Block Store on both AWS and Azure.

Automatic Capacity Upgrade for CBS on Azure enables customers to automatically increase total CBS capacity by adding additional storage to the array when total used storage capacity reaches the threshold of 80%. Along with the Automatic Capacity Upgrade, we released Selectable Initial Capacity, which allows customers to choose the array capacity during initial deployment.

Starting from this release it’s possible to configure NVMe-TCP connection between CBS on AWS and AWS Linux based native VMs. NVMe-TCP is seen as the modern successor to iSCSI for block storage, particularly for workloads demanding high performance.

Both CBS AWS and CBS Azure now support over-the-wire encryption capability for arrays that are replicating using synchronous connections, adding to the existing support for encrypted asynchronous replication.
