That said, there is currently a requirement to first register your subscription as this is currently in preview; registration form is available at https://aka.ms/AzureNFSPreview

For your information:

  • NFS v3 is best suited for large scale read-heavy sequential access workload where data will be ingested once and minimally modified further (like backup and archive or NFS apps for media rendering)
  • NFS v4 is optimized for random access workloads with in-place data updates, providing full POSIX file system support

For your reference, the Wikipedia page detailing NFS versions is available here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System
