Heya folks, Ned here again. We released Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition in November as part of Azure Automanage, which included the Hotpatch preview, SMB over QUIC, & Azure Extended Network features. In February, we also GA’ed the Hotpatch feature. We will soon be starting the Azure Edition Insider program, where you can get a preview of new features coming to in the first major release this autumn, including big changes to Storage Replica, SMB, and some surprises. After that, we’ll start the public preview of Azure Edition on Azure Stack HCI for on-premises private clouds.  


 


In the meantime, we are interested in your experience using this new operating system edition and the scenarios unlocked by these new features. If you’ve deployed Azure Edition, Hotpatch, SMB over QUIC, or Extended Network, we want to know how it went, what you liked, & what you need. We’re looking for direct experiences and with your consent, may want to chat with you further on a short phone call. 


 


You can send us an email at aefeedback@microsoft.com or just DM me directly here (just highlight my picture and click “message”). We’re very interested in hearing from you.


 


Until next time,


 


– Ned Pyle
