Topaz Weekly Pulse #11: Azure App Configuration, Application Insights, Private Endpoints, HNS Storage, Kudu Auth, and More
· 7 min read
This week in Topaz: Azure App Configuration launches as a new first-class service with store and replica lifecycle management, soft-delete, and purge support. Azure Application Insights joins as a new service with CRUD component management, telemetry ingestion, and log query endpoints. Private Endpoint management arrives for virtual networking. Blob and Queue Storage gain Hierarchical Namespace (HNS/ADLS Gen2) and hardened geo-replication secondary-endpoint rejection. App Service grows with publishing credentials and Kudu authentication. Service Bus improves session dead-lettering and dead-letter property propagation. Background service health reporting is enriched with execution timestamps.
