 Learn how to use the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) component of Azure Boost to improve the performance and availability of virtual machines (VMs) in Azure. MANA is a next-generation network interface that provides stable forward-compatible device drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems. MANA hardware and software are engineered by Microsoft and take advantage of the latest advancements in cloud networking technology.
