To upgrade your server by the end of 2025, you should consider the following key points regarding Microsoft products:
- SQL Server 2019 will move to Extended Support on February 28, 2025. This means that after this date, it will only receive security updates at no cost, but no new features or design changes will be accepted.
- If you're using Azure DevOps Server 2020, it will also transition to Extended Support on October 14, 2025.
- It's advisable to plan your upgrades now to ensure that your systems remain supported and secure, especially since many Microsoft products will reach their end of support on October 14, 2025.
Make sure to review the migration guidance for your specific products to ensure a smooth transition before the deadlines.
