Heard about SQL Server 2016?  Want to know more?

If you weren’t already aware, Microsoft have published a [series of videos](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed) on Channel 9 covering new features and enhancement in SQL Server 2016.  They vary in lengths but provide good insight into some of the changes.  [This](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/SQL-Server-2016-AlwaysOn) 17 minute video sees Kevin Farlee talk about the enhancements to the AlwaysOn feature-set including performance enhancements, DTC support, Group-Managed Service Accounts (GMSA’s) support, failover enhancements and much more!

It doesn't stop there!  There are even more recordings that cover:

- [Query Store in SQL Server 2016](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/Query-Store-in-SQL-Server-2016)
- [Temporal in SQL Server 2016](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/Temporal-in-SQL-Server-2016)
- [SQL Server Stretch DB](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/SQL-Server-Stretch-DB)
