Cloud readiness capabilities
We have two capabilities developed to support readiness for Azure cloud, ensuring that the Public cloud has the same capabilities that we support, in the private cloud setup:
- The ability to upload files larger than 4 GB, which Azure storage supports by breaking down a large file into smaller parts and then combining them server-side
- The ability to restore permanently deleted files within an agreed one-month timescale. This is to align the capabilities we already support in the Private cloud setup
