Many new capabilties and exiciting features were announced for SQLAzure today.Few of them include

  • SQLAgent
  • Profiler
  • Service Broker
  • Clr support

    and many more

To me,SQLAgent and CLR support are most exiciting features,Earlier i had to rely on Elastic jobs,Automation (using powershell) to run scheduled tasks.

I hope they add more troubleshooting features in future

For more details and all the new features,see below video
