:mega: The <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/|Pulumi Azure Native Provider> v2 is now GA! :tada:

While still providing you with the most complete support for Azure with same-day access to the entire surface area of the Azure API, we've made significant enhancements to performance and usability in the <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure-native/releases/tag/v2.0.0|v2 release>. This includes:
• Faster development: SDK size reduced by 50%
• Refreshed defaults to latest and greatest from Azure
• Expanded Azure API version coverage
• Simplified user assigned identity inputs
Read the <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/introducing-azure-native-v2/|blog post announcement> for all the details or jump straight to the <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/from-v1-to-v2/|upgrade guide> to get started with v2 today!

A huge *THANK YOU* to the Pulumi team for this Azure Native provider update. While our Azure resources aren't the most complex, it's still important that they're right.

I did the update to v2 today. Went completely seamlessly.

And wow do `pulumi preview` and `pulumi up` run significantly faster.

Thank you again.

<@U034QT0596C> thank you so much for that feedback! Great to hear!

I need to say a huge thanks for it! You have no idea how much energy/CPU/CO2/time you saved in v2! We have a quite robust azure infra (around 250 resources) and CI time reduced a lot!

<@U04SM8HTMCM> Thanks so much for the feedback! Happy to hear it!
