  • Platform/SRE — Plan: SQL Server 2025 is now GA on RDS; teams operating SQL Server workloads should evaluate an engine upgrade to gain Standard Edition capacity increases (up to 32 cores, 256 GB buffer pool) and Resource Governor, previously Enterprise-only — no deadline, but a meaningful capability shift worth scheduling this quarter.
  • CI/CD — Skip
  • Leader — Learn: SQL Server 2025 introduces a new free Dev-SE edition and significant Standard Edition capacity/feature improvements that could reduce Enterprise licensing costs; worth noting for next SQL Server licensing review, but no immediate strategic decision is forced.
