Abstract
The SQL Server Engineering team moves at the speed of the cloud. That is my observation since joining the team over two years ago. My good friend and architect of the SQL Server product, Conor Cunningham, once told me that if we wanted to, Microsoft could ship a quality release of SQL Server every month these days. That is a far cry from the days of Yukon (SQL Server 2005) when it took several years to ship a release. Of course we need value and new features to make a new release viable for the industry, so once a month is probably not the right cadence. SQL Server 2017 came right off the heels of SQL Server 2016, and a big part of that release was bringing SQL Server on Linux to market. So what is next for SQL Server, especially for SQL Server on Linux and containers?
