Public preview: Azure Container Storage

Azure Container Storage, now in preview, is a unique volume management service built natively for containers. It provides a consistent experience across different types of storage offerings, including Managed option (backed by [Azure Elastic SAN](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/storage/elastic-san/)), [Azure Disk](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/storage/disks/)s, and ephemeral disk on container services. This simplifies the deployment of persistent volumes and offers a highly scalable, cost-effective, high-performance and resilient storage solution. With Azure Container Storage, you can easily create and manage block storage volumes for production-scale stateful container applications and run them on Kubernetes, ensuring consistent experiences across different environments. The solution is optimized to enhance the performance of stateful workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters by accelerating the deployment of stateful containers with persistent volumes and improving quality with reduced pod failover time through fast attach/detach. Additionally, by efficiently deploying and managing persistent volumes on backend storage options, you can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) associated with container storage Learn more by reading the [blog](https://aka.ms/AzureContainerStorageblog) and refer to the [documentation](https://aka.ms/AzureContainerStoragedocs) for additional details, including how you can [request access to the preview.](https://aka.ms/AzureContainerStoragePreviewSignUp) * Azure Disk Storage * Features * Services
