Enterprise Application Access (EAA) Connector updates.

​Akamai​ EAA new features

MANA Support for EAA Azure Connector. Microsoft is transitioning its Azure networking infrastructure to the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA). This next-generation hardware interface is the standard for major VM families (for example, Dv5, Fsv2, Ev5) to provide higher throughput and lower latency via Azure Boost. All new EAA unified connectors for Azure platform will support MANA capability and can be deployed using the unified connector deployment flow. Your existing Azure connectors will continue to work and you should see no impact.
