The driver supports Linux and Windows only.
MANA maintains feature-parity with previous Azure networking features. VMs run on hardware with both Mellanox and MANA NICs, so existing ‘mlx4’ and ‘mlx5’ support still need to be present.
The next generation of Azure Boost will introduce the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA).
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-boost/overview#current-availability for the list of compatible VM size families, but beware that compatible VMs may run on Mellanox NICs too.

You can get packet and byte count of the MANA Virtual Function (VF) from the routable ethN interface:
$ ethtool -S eth0 | grep -E "^[ \t]+vf"
vf_rx_packets: 226418
vf_rx_bytes: 99557501
vf_tx_packets: 300422
vf_tx_bytes: 76231291
vf_tx_dropped: 0
