- Platform/SRE — Plan: If you run RDS for SQL Server 2022, you can now add RDS Proxy to gain connection pooling and up to 83% faster Multi-AZ failover with preserved app connections; evaluate whether to enable this for existing SQL Server 2022 instances this quarter.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: RDS Proxy now covers SQL Server 2022, expanding HA and connection-pooling options for SQL Server workloads on AWS; no strategic or cost decision required, but worth noting for future SQL Server architecture reviews.
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Relevant only if you operate workloads with French data-sovereignty requirements; expands deployment options for SQL Server on Azure VMs in the Azure Bleu sovereign region, but no action required unless actively evaluating sovereign cloud placement.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Worth noting if your org has French data-residency obligations — Azure Bleu now supports SQL Server on VMs, potentially enabling a lift-and-shift path to meet sovereignty requirements without re-architecting.
- Signals: GA announcement
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Pre-GA preview of managed SQL Server performance monitoring on Azure VMs; worth tracking if you run SQL Server workloads, but not yet ready to adopt in production.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Signals: pre-GA (alpha/beta/RC/preview)
- Platform/SRE — Learn: New GA hybrid deployment option for SQL Server on Azure Local; relevant if you run on-prem/edge infrastructure, but no operational change required today.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Expands hybrid SQL Server deployment options via Azure Arc management; worth noting if your org is evaluating Azure Local as part of a hybrid or edge strategy.
- Signals: GA announcement
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Pre-GA preview of a new script-based provisioning path for SQL Server on Linux Azure VMs worth watching if you manage SQL VM fleets, but no action needed until GA.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Signals: pre-GA (alpha/beta/RC/preview)
- Platform/SRE — Skip
- CI/CD — Learn: The GA of SQL projects in SSMS signals maturity of the schema-as-code database deployment pattern (dacpac via Microsoft.Build.Sql); worth revisiting if database change pipelines lack a structured versioning approach, but no pipeline migration is required now.
- Leader — Skip
- Signals: GA announcement
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Public preview of Arc-enabled SQL Server performance monitoring adds a telemetry query endpoint worth evaluating if you manage hybrid SQL workloads, but pre-GA status means no production adoption yet.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Signals: pre-GA (alpha/beta/RC/preview)
- 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.
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Useful to know if managing SQL Server workloads on Azure; Arc-enabled migration now covers SQL Server on Azure VMs alongside Managed Instance, potentially simplifying future lift-and-shift planning.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Broadens the Azure migration path for SQL Server workloads, worth noting if the org is evaluating cloud migration options or Azure vendor strategy for data infrastructure.
- Signals: GA announcement
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Useful if planning a SQL Server to AWS migration — the offline metadata extraction removes connectivity barriers — but no deadline or version constraint makes this actionable now.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Reduces security-review friction for SQL Server migrations to AWS, which may accelerate a planned migration project, but no strategic decision is forced.
