Enable one-time reboot schedule
Now Available
Previously, you could schedule image updates by waiting for the MCS machine's next reboot, or by triggering an immediate reboot to all VMs in the catalog. With this feature, you can now create a reboot schedule for a desired catalog or VM(s) to occur once on a desired date and time in an effort to facilitate scheduled MCS image updates.

AWS On-Demand Provisioning
Releasing
With this feature, when creating a machine catalog, VMs are not provisioned at catalog creation time, but rather the first time VMs are powered on. For non-persistent catalogs, the OS disk is deleted when the VM power state is set to Off, and recreated when the VM is powered up. The AWS on-demand provisioning feature reduces your storage costs and provides faster catalog creation.

Support for zone-redundant storage in Azure
Now Available
Previously, MCS only offered locally-redundant storage (LRS). With this feature, you now have both locally-redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS) options in Azure. ZRS allows you to spread your redundant storage across multiple locations, ensuring redundancy even in the event of failure in one location.
