Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure supports internal IBM Fusion Data Foundation clusters only.

An internal cluster must meet both, storage device requirements and have a storage class that provides, an Azure disk via the azure-disk provisioner.

IBM Fusion Data Foundation supports StorageClass with performance plus enabled. By enabling performance plus, the input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput limits can be increased for the following types of disks that are 513 GiB and larger:

Azure Premium solid-state drives (SSD)
Standard SSDs

Important: In order to enable performance plus, you must create a StorageClass with enablePerformancePlus=True, and select this StorageClass when deploying Fusion Data Foundation.
