TLS 1.2 (or Later) in Azure SQL

Sakshi Gupta provides a public service announcement:

From November 1st, any Azure SQL server left with the “Select an option” or “NONE” setting (where “NONE” means no enforced minimum TLS version) will only allow connections using TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. Connections using TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 will be rejected. It is critical for all customers to configure their servers correctly and ensure that their client applications can operate with TLS 1.2 or higher.

Pretty much any SQL Server client or driver that Microsoft released from 2016 forwards will support TLS 1.2, so for most organizations, this should be as simple as enabling the option in development and ensuring applications connect as expected.
