Summary

We are excited for the Public Preview release of Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty. Please review our official Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty documentation for more details.

These release notes are useful for users who have been part of the Private Preview program of the Sovereign Landing Zone (SLZ). It highlights what is new in this first publicly available preview version. This release introduces many new capabilities and configuration options past what was available during Private Preview that are designed to ease the adoption process and provide better support for organizations seeking to improve their workload sovereignty.

Highlights

Breaking Changes

  • After receiving a wide variety of feedback around resource naming, we have standardized our naming convention. Because Azure resources cannot be renamed, we cannot upgrade an SLZ deployment in-place, so Private Preview users will need to deploy a new SLZ. This is the only time we will be making broad changes to resource naming.
  • We have deprecated the parBillingScopeAccountId and parEnrollmentAccountId parameters in favor of a new parSubscriptionBillingScope parameter to enable deployments across a larger set of Azure Account types.

Full details about the changes relevant for our Private Preview users, please review the upgrade notes.
