Azure Lab Services updates
Azure DevTest Labs recently released different updates:
- Enables multiple owners to manage a lab.
- Added the ability to automatically shut down virtual machines when a users’ remote desktop (RDP) session is disconnected (Windows).
- Integration with Azure Bastion, enabling you to connect to your lab virtual machines through a web browser.
- It automatically installs the necessary GPU drivers for you when you create a lab with GPU machines. You no longer have to figure out which GPU driver to use on your own.
Azure File Sync agent version 5.x will expire on February 12th
To continuously improve Azure File Sync, Microsoft can only support old versions of the agent for a limited time. On February 12, 2020, Azure File Sync agent version 5.x will be expired and stop syncing. If you have servers with agent version 5.x, update to a supported agent version (6.x or later). If you don’t update your servers before February 12, 2020, they will stop syncing. To resume syncing, the agent must be updated to a supported version.
