• Performance improvements of up to 60% have been benchmarked for certain workflows
• Azure OMS and OMS Azure Extensions are now supported
• Improved baseline security
• Upgrade process improvements that no longer checks and interrupts the process based on SnapReplicate version differences on paired instances
• Samba updated to version 4.12.10-15
• Linux version change from CentOS 6.9 to CentOS 8.2 ensures security and other Linux fixes continue to flow normally as expected.
