Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Focused on safer license update automation and data usability for the microsoft/sql-server-samples repo. Key work included hardening Disaster Recovery (DR) license filtering in Azure SQL license updates to prevent unintended changes to DR replicas; introducing an Azure CLI login V1 fallback to ensure stable script authentication; and improving MI query processing with encoding fixes and new sample data to simplify validation. These changes reduce risk, improve automation reliability, and enable faster, safer license updates and testing.

Jun 1, 2025In June 2025, the Microsoft SQL Server Samples work focused on improving licensing automation and documentation accuracy to drive operational efficiency and customer value. A pay-as-you-go licensing script was added to enable pay-as-you-go licensing across Azure SQL resources (databases, elastic pools, managed instances, and SQL VMs), with a fix for a resource group filter in the underlying PowerShell workflow and activation anchored by Azure Managed Identity. Documentation quality was enhanced by correcting the SubscriptionPolicies spelling in readmes for two samples and by standardizing documentation formatting (renaming the licensing doc extension to .md). These changes reduce manual licensing overhead, improve licensing accuracy, and enhance maintainability and onboarding for users of the samples.
