VishalBajaj, is there any plan to release SQL Server images based on the Azure Edition with Hotpatching? this is where the hotpatching would shine as the logistics needed to reboot SQL servers are normally a lot more challenging...
I found https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2024/01/23/how-hotpatching-on-windows-server-is-changing-the-game-for-xbox/ about Microsoft XBOX services using this already, I assume they are deploying regular Windows Server images with this new feature and then installing SQL on top vs using SQL Server images? you would also need to then register the IaaS Agent extension I guess but it would be ideal if there were images with all this already completed, specially given the fact that hotpatching does not fully work with custom images which would add a lot of extra steps for every VM needed...
