[!INCLUDE sssql11-md] and later versions.
Note
Only 64-bit SQL Server versions are supported.
- Windows 10 and 11
- [!INCLUDE winserver2012-md] and later versions
- Ubuntu 20.04 (x64)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 (x64)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 (x64)
Important
Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 support ended on October 10, 2023. For more information, see SQL Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 end of support.
On Windows, .NET Framework 4.7.2 and later.
This requirement begins with extension version 1.1.2504.99 (November, 14 2023 release). Without this version, the extension might not function as intended. Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn't come with .NET Framework 4.7.2 by default and must be updated accordingly.
You can deploy SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc in VMware VMs running:
- On-premises
- In VMware solutions, for example:
-
Azure VMware Solution (AVS)
[!INCLUDE azure-vmware]
-
VMware Cloud on AWS
-
Google Cloud VMware Engine
-
SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc supports SQL Server instances running on virtual machines hosted in VMware vSphere–based environments, including Azure VMware Solution.
Support doesn't depend on specific VMware commercial bundles, editions, or packaging. The following requirements determine support:
- The supported guest operating system
- The supported SQL Server version
- Azure Arc Connected Machine agent requirements
VMware (Broadcom) defines VMware packaging, licensing, and lifecycle policies and may change them independently of Azure Arc.
