Release Information for Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure 8.1 Patch 2

What's New

Security and Performance

• Third-party libraries and packages were updated to address their discovered vulnerabilities.
• Overall stability and product security have been improved.

General

• The Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure appliance and its worker VMs can now be deployed with Encryption at Host enabled. This feature requires Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure build 13.8.4.19 or later, and the target Azure region and subscription must have Encryption at Host enabled.

  To enable Encryption at Host:

  1. On the Veeam Backup & Replication server, add the following line to C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Plugins\Microsoft Azure\Config.xml:

     <ServerDeployOptions EncryptionAtHost = "true" />
     

     All subsequent Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure appliance deployments will then be launched with Encryption at Host.

  2. After the appliance is deployed, connect to it over SSH and add the following lines to /etc/veeam/azurebackup/Config.ini:

     [WorkerVmDeploymentOptions]
     EncryptionAtHost = "true"
     

     All worker VMs deployed by the appliance will then use Encryption at Host.
