Generally Available: Enhancements on Azure Container Storage for performance, scalability, and operational insights

We are excited to unveil key advancements in Azure Container Storage, our purpose-built storage solution for stateful containers on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). These updates bring increased performance and improved reliability to support even the most demanding containerized applications. We have optimized ephemeral disk performance to improve read and write IOPS. These enhancements include updates to local NVMe performance both with and without replication, detailed here: * [Optimize performance when using local NVMe without replication.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/use-container-storage-with-local-disk#optimize-performance-when-using-local-nvme) * [Optimize performance when using local NVMe with replication](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/container-storage/use-container-storage-with-local-nvme-replication#optimize-performance-when-using-local-nvme).
