Summary
Microsoft has introduced full support for cgroup v2 in SQL Server 2025 and SQL Server 2022 CU 20 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) users, particularly beneficial for those running SQL Server in containers or Kubernetes clusters. This update enhances memory management by allowing SQL Server to recognize and respect memory limits set by cgroup v2, reducing the risk of Out of Memory errors and improving stability in containerized environments.
