Anthony Nocentino updates a guide for SQL Server 2025:
In this blog post, I’ve implemented two example environments for using SQL Server’s S3 object integration. One for backup and restore to S3-compatible object storage and the other for data virtualization using PolyBase connectivity to S3-compatible object storage. This work aims to get you up and running as quickly as possible to work with these new features. I implemented this in Docker Compose since that handles all the implementation and configuration steps for you. The complete code for this is available on my GitHub repo. I’m walking you through the implementation here in this post.
