Serverless SQL endpoints on Azure?

Serverless SQL Endpoints sound exciting! Sounds like they've been in preview on AWS for a couple months. Any idea if/when they're coming to Azure?

Hi @snarfed , the serverless computing is already in public preview on AWS and limited to a few regions. So there are possibilities that we can expect the private preview on Azure in the next quarter.

You can contact your CSE to get updates about the Serverless compute release on Azure.

Up until a few days ago the SQL "persona" of the databricks workspace in Azure had a headline stating something like "Instant on SQL endpoints and a new data catalog comming soon" (or something like that), but now its gone. I was hoping that indicated that it was getting very close, but maybe not.

@snarfed : If you "contact your CSE to get updates about the Serverless compute release on Azure", can you please share the information here? Or @Prabakar Ammeappin , maybe some of these CSE's can come here and tell us a bit about the progress, seems a bit less bureaucratic than each of us making tickets, no?
