Public Preview: Customer‑managed encryption keys now supported on Premium SSD v2 disks for Azure Database for PostgreSQL

You can now enhance data security for your Azure Database for PostgreSQL workloads by using customer managed keys (CMKs) with Premium SSD v2 disks. Available in public preview, this update gives you greater control over how your data at rest is encrypted, allowing you to use your own keys stored in Azure Key Vault while continuing to take advantage of the high performance and scalability of Premium SSD v2 storage. CMKs are especially valuable if you operate in regulated industries or need to meet internal compliance requirements that specify customer‑controlled encryption and separation of duties.

With this preview, you can manage key rotation and access policies according to your organization’s standards, while Azure continues to handle the underlying database operations and performance optimization. The result is a stronger security posture without compromising performance, availability, or ease of management for your PostgreSQL deployments on Azure.

Generally Available: Azure Database for PostgreSQL dashboards with Grafana
You can now monitor your Azure Database for PostgreSQL with rich, built-in Grafana dashboards—right from the Azure portal. This native integration with Azure Monitor means you no longer need to set up or manage a separate Grafana instance to get deep visibility into your database performance.
With just a few clicks, you can see prebuilt dashboards showing real-time metrics like CPU usage, storage, active connections, query throughput, and more. You can also correlate metrics with PostgreSQL logs, helping you troubleshoot slow queries and spikes instantly. Grafana Explore is available too, so you can dive deeper into your data when needed.
These dashboards help you answer critical questions faster: Is my database healthy? What’s causing performance issues? Do I need to scale? You can customize dashboards, save them to your subscription, and share them across teams.

Generally Available: Terraform, Bicep, Ansible support for elastic clusters on Azure Database for PostgreSQL
You can now provision and manage Azure Database for PostgreSQL elastic clusters using Terraform, Bicep, and Ansible, with full General Availability support. With native infrastructure-as-code support, you can consistently create, scale, and manage elastic clusters as part of automated deployment pipelines, reducing manual configuration and operational overhead. This update is especially useful if you are building multitenant or horizontally scalable PostgreSQL workloads and want repeatable, auditable infrastructure deployments across environments.

By integrating elastic clusters into Terraform, Bicep, and Ansible, you gain greater control, reliability, and velocity when managing distributed PostgreSQL deployments. You can standardize your infrastructure definitions, simplify environment replication, and seamlessly integrate elastic clusters into your CI/CD and governance processes.

Public Preview: Query Profiler in MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code
The MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code now introduces Query Profiler in public preview, bringing real-time insight into your database activity directly inside Visual Studio Code. With Query Profiler, you can capture query and database activity as it happens, helping you quickly understand what your app and backend processes are doing, identify slow operations, and spot performance bottlenecks while you build. Powered by Extended Events, Query Profiler delivers low-overhead performance monitoring designed to minimize impact on your database.
Query Profiler supports SQL Server (on-premises or in private or public cloud environments) and Azure SQL Database. You can monitor active sessions, review execution details, and better understand how your application interacts with your database during development and testing. Instead of switching between monitoring tools and your editor, you get a streamlined, developer-focused profiling experience integrated with your existing connections and query workflow.
Whether you are debugging performance issues or validating changes before deployment, Query Profiler gives you clear, actionable insight into what your database is doing in real time. This public preview allows you to explore the experience early and share feedback.

Generally Available: Azure SRE Agent with new capabilities
Azure SRE Agent is now generally available. This AI-powered operations agent helps teams improve uptime, reduce incident impact, and cut operational toil by accelerating diagnosis and automating response workflows. The GA release introduces deep context grounding with source code and tools, advanced reasoning with both OpenAI and Anthropic Claude models, built-in Python code execution for generating reports and dashboards, and memory that learns from every interaction. Teams can customize the agent's autonomy level—from recommended actions to automated responses within defined guardrails.
