Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

One area I would like to see improved in SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages is the licensing and feature limitations in the standard edition. Some of the more advanced capabilities are now only available in the Enterprise edition, which can be frustrating when our requirements grow. Another challenge is managing database upgrades and compatibility, particularly when we are moving older applications to a newer environment. We sometimes have to spend extra time testing everything to make sure existing applications continue working properly. I would also appreciate if Microsoft would simplify some of the configuration options and make troubleshooting error messages easier to understand. The product works well for our regular operations, but these improvements would make life easier for our development and DBA teams.
