Now that Microsoft Ignite 2022 is over, we’ve all had time to reflect on the announcements made. A little disappointed in the lack of SQL Server 2022 stuff but plenty of exciting Azure changes!
If, like me, you couldn’t attend every session you would like to, well Microsoft have this covered with their Book of News.
There’s a ton of new stuff (very little for Data which is my primary focus) but this gives a great overview of all the latest information. Some of the highlights for me are:
- Azure Data:
- 1.2.1 Azure analytics and governance updates support faster, more reliable insights
- Multiple updates for Azure Purview
- Continuous Backup, Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB
- 2.1.2. Azure Cosmos DB adding distributed PostgreSQL support
