Much of the the internet runs on Elastic Block Storage.

It's the default (and in most cases, required) storage layer for every EC2 instance running in AWS.

This article by Marc Olson was a delightful read on its history and engineering challenges.

@glennalanberry.bsky.social Do you know if the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU (in combination with the Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero ATX Motherboard) supports a maximum of 192 or 256 GB RAM? Thanks! :-)

Calling the Azure OpenAI service directly from SQL Server 2025 to generate query embeddings, which will used afterwards for performing a vector search.

In comparison to the #PostgreSQL pgvector extension, the vector support in SQL Server 2025 is - let's say "rudimentary"... pgvector has much more querying and indexing functionality than SQL Server 2025... github.com/pgvector/pgv...

Vector search in SQL Server 2025 is quite powerful. But the creation of the embeddings burns down *a lot* of energy. My RTX 3080Ti GPU was getting quite hot over the night. Thanks again to @sqlbek.bsky.social for his ready-to-use recipes database, which is available on github.com/SQLBek/Demo-....

I have just connected my Ollama REST endpoint that runs on Mac OS to SQL Server 2025. The tricky part was to use a reverse proxy on Mac OS (caddy) to forward the incoming https requests to the http only endpoint of Ollama.

Based on a single sys-prepped Windows Server image (2022, 2025), I can create now in a fully automated way (with #Terraform & #Ansible) in about 15 - 20 minutes a complete Windows Active Directory infrastructure, with running SQL Server instances, and a fully working Availability Group deployment.
