For users of Azure NetApp Files the ability to take on demand snapshots and instantly restore any application is a powerful one. Snapshots can be taken on demand or triggered via API, PowerShell or CLI easily, however many customers would like an easy to deploy, secure method of taking snapshots at a regular interval with retention management. Enter the ANF Scheduler (https://github.com/kirkryan/anfScheduler). It deploys in seconds, is secure as it is compliant with Azure IAM and can also be monitored in Azure natively.

After 230 days of running anfScheduler every hour, every day, I have incurred a cost of £0.10p

Today, I have published an update to the app that fixes a small bug introduced with an underlying API response change from the ANF service. You can download the latest version at the link above.
