General availability: HPC Cache for NVME-based Storage, Storage Target Management, and HIPAA Compliance

[HPC Cache](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/hpc-cache/) has released read-only support of NVMe-based SKUs. You can now enable NVMe storage using [Lsv2 virtual machines](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/lsv2-series) – Azure VMs optimized for storage-intensive workloads. Leveraging these high-throughput, low-latency machines permit higher performance at lower prices for read-only workloads.
