The session covers: Recent feature updates in performance, storage, and compute New AI-ready extensions like AZURE_AI, DISKANN, and PGVECTOR Improvements in high availability, GeoDR, and major version upgrades Enterprise-grade security enhancements (CMK, Entra ID) Tuning & monitoring improvements to simplify day-to-day operations ๐ฅ Watch the talk here: https://youtu.be/GnA8Z1Ojnk0?si=r1dbJb57JKjTGl68 Would love your feedbackโand happy to answer any follow-up questions in this thread!Just published: What's new with Postgres at Microsoft, 2025 edition
If youโre using Postgres on Azureโor just curious about what the Postgres team at Microsoft has been up to during the past 12 monthsโthis annual update might be worth a look. The blog post covers: New features in Azure Database for PostgreSQL โ Flexible Server Open source code contributions to Postgres 18 (including async I/O) Work on the Citus extension to Postgres Community efforts like POSETTE, helping with PGConf.dev, our monthly Talking Postgres podcast, and more Thereโs also a hand-made infographic that maps out the different Postgres workstreams at Microsoft over the past year. It's a lot to take in, but the infographic captures so much of the work across the teamโI think it's kind of a work of art. ๐ Read the full post here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/adforpostgresql/whats-new-with-postgres-at-microsoft-2025-edition/4410710 And, I'd love to hear your thoughts or questions.March 2025 Recap: Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server

PostgreSQL - Flexible Compute - VNet DNS Update
Hello, I have a customer planning to update the VNet DNS from custom to Default. The client is running a PostgreSQL - Flexible server with VNet integration. Does the DNS change impact PostgreSQL - Flexible compute? What is the best way to update the PostgreSQL - Flexible compute without having to restart? Thanks, Terru
