-Azure SQL Managed Instance (Extended Private Preview). Note that there are a number of differences when using Managed Instance:
--   FILESTREAM is not supported 
--   Local filesystem access is not supported, but required for things like tracefiles 
--   Create UDT from local path not supported 
--   Windows Integrated Authentication not supported 
--   DTC not supported 
--   'sa' account is not present (default account is called 'cloudSA')
--   TDS token ERROR (0xAA) returns incorrect server name
--   Special characters in database name are not supported 
--   ALTER DATABASE [dbname1] MODIFY NAME = [dbname2] is not supported
--   The error messages are always shown in English, regardless of language settings (same as Azure) 
+**New distributions supported**:
+macOS High Sierra and Ubuntu 17.10 
+
+**Performance Improvements**:
