Great to see SQL Server 2025 reaching GA on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

The added observability improvements (especially new DMVs) and native vector support are particularly interesting from a Linux operations perspective. It’s good to see continued investment in first-class Linux support.

Looking forward to testing it in a production-style workload.
