Build a Cross-Platform Data Estate with Azure SQL on Containers, Kubernetes, and VMsSQLBits 2025

Discover how to build a flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient cross-platform data estate that spans virtual machines, physical servers, and containers. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to deploy SQL Server containers across Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and other Kubernetes platforms using the DH2i operator. We’ll be hopefully joined by a customer, who will share their experience running this stack in production, along with co-speakers from DH2i and Red Hat Engineering.
