Som vanligt vill man alltid lansera något "till massorna" vid PASS Summit som nu går…
Recently, SQL Server 2012 Servicepack 1 Cumulative Update 2 was released. And unlike some CU’s this one has quite som extra functionality in it, not just bugfixes. The goodies released are:
Sysprep support for almost all features and tools, wich I have written more about here
The option to backup and restore databases directly to and from Windows Azure Blob Storage, read more here
More info about SQL 2012 SP1 CU2 can be found here, but beware, it seems to be automatically “translated” into your local language, and can be quite hard on the eyes because of that 🙂
