Update news

July 11, 2023 updates have been released, some highlights:

• This update addresses an issue that affects Live Migration. It might fail in a stretch cluster deployment. This occurs because the Storage Replica fails to retry after it receives a retry error from the Cluster API.
• ?This update addresses an issue that affects cluster name object of failover clustering. You cannot repair it on Azure Virtual Machines.
• ?This update addresses an issue that affects input/output operations per second (IOPS). There is a large drop in IOPS. This occurs when you install the data dedup feature. (!)

The last mentioned issue is occurring when you have installed the dedup feature, you don't even need to enable it on volumes for it to occur.
