scom deprecation

The scom deprecation tag covers Microsoft's announcement that System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server (PBIRS), and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) are deprecated, with support ending in January 2027. This shift pushes organizations toward cloud-native observability using Azure Monitor, Azure Arc, and Log Analytics. Discussions focus on the operational, security, licensing, and compliance implications for enterprises still relying on SCOM for on-premises SQL Server telemetry. The tag is relevant for IT operations, database administrators, and compliance teams navigating this transition.
