## SQL Server 2025 Enterprise by cloudimg
Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Enterprise Edition is the full-featured relational database platform for mission-critical workloads, advanced analytics and high availability at scale. This Amazon Machine Image delivers SQL Server 2025 Enterprise fully installed and configured on Ubuntu 24.04, so a production-grade database server is running within minutes of launch.
## Application Stack
SQL Server 2025 Enterprise Edition installed from the official Microsoft APT repository for Ubuntu 24.04. mssql-tools18 and sqlcmd for command-line administration. The service runs on port 1433 and starts on boot through a systemd unit.
## SQL Server 2025 Ships With
Vector data type and HNSW indexes for AI and RAG workloads. Native JSON_OBJECT and JSON_ARRAY functions. REGEXP_LIKE, REGEXP_INSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE in T-SQL. Optimized locking for improved concurrency.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one-shot service generates a unique SA password, sets it via mssql-conf, re-applies the Enterprise edition, creates a cloudimg SQL login, removes the build-time memory cap and writes all credentials to a root-only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The SQL Server service starts on boot. Retrieve the generated credentials from /root/mssql-credentials.txt and connect with sqlcmd or any SQL Server client on port 1433.
