Azure Managed Cache Service and Azure In-Role Cache to be retired November 30, 2016 Azure Managed Cache Service and Azure In-Role Cache service will remain available for existing customers until November 30, 2016. After this date, Managed Cache Service will be shut down, and In-Role Cache service will no longer be supported.
On February 1, 2016, Azure DocumentDB will move from global to regional meters. As part of this transition, the resource GUIDs for DocumentDB will also change.
Upcoming maintenance will affect multi instance deployments of Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS) and Cloud Services (PaaS). During the planned maintenance window, Cloud Service Web and Worker role instances and IaaS Virtual Machines (VMs) in an availability set may experience a graceful shutdown, approximately fifteen minutes of downtime, and a subsequent reboot.

Each activity in a graphical runbook has a configuration where you can choose a checkpoint for the runbook when the activity completes. This is a feature of Automation workflows that allows you to save the state of a runbook job so that previous activities won’t be repeated if the runbook job needs to restart.
