Hi All,

I was going through the document on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/introduction-malware-scanning

The document talks about "up to 50 GB in preview"

Can I know when will be the GA for this feature

Thanks

Nikhil

    Hello @Nikhil Palathingal

    During the preview phase, the service supported scanning of blobs up to 50 GB in size. However, with the GA release, the current documentation indicates that the service now supports scanning blobs up to 2 GB in size.

    There are currently no updates on GA for 50GB, but you will be informed as soon as they become available.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/release-notes As of December 1, 2024, Microsoft announced a preview expansion to support scanning blobs up to 50 GB.
