Just under two weeks before MS Ignite but the news keeps on coming. This week’s news includes Cross Region Restore of Azure VMs now generally available, Azure Firewall Premium now in public preview, Azure role-based access control (RBAC) for Azure Key Vault data plane authorization is now generally available, Azure Machine Learning updates for native terminal is now generally available and as always, the Microsoft Learn Module of the Week.
Cross Region Restore of Azure VMs now generally available
The backup data in the Azure Backup Recovery service vault stores backup data which defaults storage settings to geo-redundancy, and the backed up data in the primary region is geo-replicated to an Azure-paired secondary region. The data replicated to the secondary region is available to restore in the secondary region only if Azure declares a disaster in the primary region. Customers who opt-in for this feature can initiate restores in the secondary region at any time making the customer controlled secondary region restores possible in both times of primary region being available or unavailable.
Further details can be found here: Cross Region Restore
Azure Firewall Premium now in public preview
The following capabilities can now be preformed under the new Azure Firewall Premium public preview:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) Inspection: decrypts outbound traffic, performs the required value-added security functions and re-encrypt the traffic which is sent to the original destination.
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS): provides signature-based IDPS to allow rapid detection of attacks by looking for specific patterns, such as byte sequences in network traffic, or known malicious instruction sequences used by malware.
- Web Categories: Allows admins to allow or deny user access to the Internet based on categories (e.g. social networking, search engines, gambling), reducing the time spent on managing individual FQDNs and URLs. This capability is also available for Azure Firewall Standard based on FQDNs only.
- URL Filtering: Allow users to access specific URLs for both plain text and encrypted traffic, typically being used in congestion with web categories.
For more information, see the Azure Firewall Premium documentation.
Azure role-based access control (RBAC) for Azure Key Vault data plane authorization is now generally available
System admins can now achieve unified management and access control across Azure Resources with Azure role-based access control (RBAC) for Azure Key Vault on data plane. This capability now allows the ability to manage RBAC for Key Vault keys, certificates, and secrets with roles assignment scope available from management group to individual key, certificate, and secret. When enabled, Azure AD users and services will be validated exclusively by Azure RBAC.
Further details can be found here: Provide access to Key Vault keys, certificates, and secrets with an Azure role-based access control
Azure Machine Learning updates for native terminal now generally available
Terminal in Azure Machine Learning can now be used to perform any CLI operation directly in the Azure Machine Learning studio. CLI operations include cloning notebook files from Git Repository , installing a Python package, and executing Python Files.
For more information, see the Azure Machine Learning CLI documentation.
Community Events
- Microsoft Ignite – Registration is now available for the upcoming event. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

We recently discovered an issue within the Troubleshooting + support blade where the Devices table > column App install lifecycle might not be showing an accurate status. We’ve received customer feedback where the column is showing “Failure” but upon investigation the apps are not failing to deploy and there are no issues with the apps on devices.
Additionally, if you select the impacted device, load the “Managed Apps” view, select one of the apps targeted to the device and click the app, the app install history may show the status as “Failed to install”, however the app is present on the device.
Both these issues are related to each other because the App install lifecycle is computed from the app install history. The issue appears at random so you may not be impacted, keep on reading to learn more.
Steps to reproduce:
Navigate to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center
Click Troubleshooting + support
Select a user
Under the Devices table, view the status of the App install lifecycle column
Confirm if the status is correct by checking Device Install status for getting the accurate installation status for an app for a device.
Troubleshoot blade in the MEM admin center
How to check Device Install status:
Navigate to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center
Click Apps > All apps
Select an app
Click Device install status
The correct status will be displayed in the Status column
Device install status blade in the MEM admin center
If the App install lifecycle column in the Troubleshooting blade shows a different status than the Device Install status, you have run into this problem. To workaround this issue, our recommendation is to use the Device Install status for understanding the correct install status of the app for the affected device.
Our engineering team is actively working to fix this issue, we’ll update this post as additional information becomes available. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments on this post or tagging @IntuneSuppTeam on Twitter.

Azure Service Bus is the enterprise messaging PaaS of choice for customers looking for a cloud native service with familiar queue and topic subscription semantics using the industry driven Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). By virtue of being a modern PaaS offering on Azure, Azure Service Bus aims to bring deeper integrations with Azure’s services along with high availability, secure design and scalability built into the platform as a first-class experience to the application integration space.
As businesses, from retail to finance, and manufacturing to transportation, accelerate their digitalization efforts and further embrace the cloud, many are moving and modernizing existing Java-based workloads that lean on enterprise messaging brokers like IBM MQ, TIBCO EMS or JBoss A-MQ through the JMS 2.0 application interface.
With Azure Service Bus Premium expanding its feature set to provide JMS 2.0 specification compliance, businesses can leave the complexity and cost of licensing, maintaining, and operating these legacy broker infrastructures behind and switch to Azure Service Bus as the reliable and highly available backbone of their critical applications. For multi-site systems that use centralized broker infrastructures in on-premises datacenters, Azure Service Bus is also a very attractive, cost efficient, managed PaaS alternative to running such infrastructure even if many of the attached workloads remain on-premises.
Today, we’re ecstatic to announce the general availability for Java Message Service (JMS) 2.0 for enterprise workloads on Azure Service Bus Premium tier.
Seamlessly migrate and connect existing applications with Azure Service Bus over AMQP
By leveraging Azure Service Bus JMS support, customers can avoid the overhead of procuring licenses, managing an enterprise messaging broker on their own IaaS Compute, simplify cost management with a fixed price per messaging unit, and by leveraging automatic scale up/down to address variability in workloads.
We also continue to promise the simplicity of configuration only code changes to enable our customers to bring their existing JMS client applications.
Utilize existing JMS enterprise application integration (EAI) connectors and tooling to interact with Azure Service Bus
With full support for Java Message Service (JMS) 2.0 on Azure Service Bus, the possibilities for interacting with Azure Service Bus are virtually endless. Our customers can now utilize existing EAI connectors that leverage JMS APIs to perform management and data plane operations on Azure Service Bus.
We’ve also added support for the JMS toolbox tool to interact with Azure Service Bus, enabling customers to have a familiar tool used with various JMS message brokers.
