This year was my first time attending PASS. Most of the sessions I attended focused on ColumnStore, which is something our organization has implemented in production over the past couple of years with great success, and also Azure SQL Data Warehouse, which is somewhat related but new territory for me.
The idea that we can now spin up a distributed MPP platform in the cloud that's based on SQL Server and ColumnStore is amazing. The issue is no longer Microsoft versus Big Data, or SQL Server versus NoSQL; today Microsoft is Big Data and SQL Server is all things data. The other competing database vendors are left playing catch up.

I agree. SQL is an amazingly complete platform, with lots of scalability. Cost is reasonable as well for all but those starting out, but the scaling in Azure SQL DB/DW might be good enough for most.

I noticed SQL Operations Studio popping up in a bunch of the sessions I attended last week. First time I'd seen it, and I'm still a bit confused as to what it is for. Does it have some advantage over SSMS or is it just an alternative for those who live in VS Code and prefer that interface?

It's a fork of VS Code that has been built for the SQL group. It isn't VS code, but it feels/looks similar. There are some additional blades/panes that handle things like connections, graphs, various items. If you like VS Code, you might like this. SSMS will still exist, and I'm not 100% sure of the reasons for each.
Supposed to be publicly released this month.

Is this the new IDE from Microsoft that is cross platform on Windows, Mac, and Linux?

"The leadership of PASS regularly changes, and we see that again this year with three new board members starting this January. I'd like to welcome John Martin, Diego Nogare, and Chris Yates to the board, and I hope they both enjoy the experience,". So which one of the three do you not want to enjoy the experience? 🙂😉

Typo. Or maybe not. That Yates guy can be trouble 😉
