TWS compatibility with Cloud Block storage

Hi Team,

We raised a case TS018127615 to check IWS compatibility & performances with Pure storage Cloud Block Store (CBS)

Our Business Team is exploring options to migrate the storage from Cloud Native to Cloud Block Storage.

We are using IWS distributed environment, Azure Linux systems as our IWS masters with Version 10.2 and also, we have Azure windows and Linux FTA's, Dynamic Agents, Extended agents configured with SAP with 10.2 version

In the case it has been confirmed that CBS is not supported and asked to raise an RFE, so the development team consider this in the future release.

Please initiate to test & explore if the IWS is compatible and supported with Pure storage Cloud Block Store (CBS). Also, let us know by when we will have this test results ready & inclusion of this feature in future Release of IWS version or fix packs (by default).
