Dear all,

I am very pleased to announce that the Linux version SSIS is available in CTP 2.1.

Since March 2016 Microsoft announced that SQL Server plan to support Linux platform, SSIS team has been working on any possibility to also support SSIS on Linux OS. Now you can download SQL Server Integration Services CTP 2.1 and try it out on your Linux machines or VM by command lines.

In this version, you can:

  • Run SSIS packages on Linux OS, monitor and track execution status and result;

  • Extract data from and to most common used sources and destinations on Linux platform;

  • Do common used transformation on Linux platform;


SSIS on Linux is one of key investments in 2017. So please email me directly ( lle@microsoft.com ) if you have any feedbacks on it.
