<p>This week's Atlas release includes:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>1) Azure Private Link w/ Atlas Private Endpoints</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>  -- This will allow for a “one-way” private connection between Azure and Atlas VNets; some customers prefer this as a more secure way to avoid extending their existing network trust boundary.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>  -- Also allows for transitive connectivity to Atlas via a customer’s own internal VNet peering connection or Azure ExpressRoute from on-prem, allowing Atlas clusters to be accessible via customer VPN.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2) Atlas Search: No downtime re-indexing</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>  -- This represents a major improvement for customers using Atlas Search for production workloads. Before this, if customers modified a search index, it would be offline and no longer queryable until the new index had completed an initial sync. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;-- Now, a stale or previous version of the search index remains queryable until the new one has completed initial sync, eliminating disruptions in search availability.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>3) Optimized slow query logging</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>  -- The Query Profiler and Performance Advisor both rely on slow query logs to help users understand and optimize database performance in Atlas.  Previously, only queries that took longer than <strong>100ms</strong> to run were collected and analyzed. Going forward, Atlas will dynamically adjust the threshold in order to capture each workload’s slowest queries and provide better index suggestions and query insights.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4) Feedback button for Index Suggestions in Performance Advisor</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>  -- Users can now mark index suggestions as helpful or unhelpful and provide additional feedback on their rating.</p>
