+Here are some of the capabilities you learn about in this module:
 
-- **Deployment options and differences in SQL Server 2022**: You'll learn the various methods to deploy SQL Server 2022 and some of the differences in features and deployment from previous releases of SQL Server.
-- **Cloud connected scenarios**: You'll learn scenarios for new hybrid capabilities for SQL Server 2022, and how you can connect to Azure for managed disaster recovery, near real-time analytics, and security access and assessments.
-- **Built-in query intelligence**: You'll learn new built-in engine capabilities that can help you gain performance with no code changes, and gain deep insights into query performance.
-- **Security, scalability, and availability**: You'll learn new core database engine capabilities across security, scalability, and availability.
-- **Data virtualization and object storage**: You'll learn how to access data lakes using built-in connectors across REST APIs for Azure and S3 compatible object storage providers. You'll also learn how to use S3 compatible object storage providers for backup and restore of SQL Server databases.
-- **Language enhancements for developers**: Finally, you'll learn new T-SQL language capabilities to help developers build new application scenarios to leverage SQL Server.

 In SQL Server 2022 with the Query Store enabled, the optimizer will evaluate highly repetitive queries that match patterns for CE model scenarios where the model may be making an incorrect assumption. The optimizer will then attempt to test and verify whether a query hint could be used to allow the query to perform faster. Upon verification of faster performance, a query hint will be persisted in the Query Store to be used for future query executions. You can see any applied query hints for CE feedback in the **sys.query_store_query_hints** catalog view and CE feedback details in the **sys.query_store_plan_feedback** catalog view. CE feedback will not be used if the legacy CE model has been enabled, if a query plan is forced in the query store, or if a query has existing query store hints.
