Retirement: Azure SQL Edge will be retired on September 30th, 2025

[dducro]

I noticed takeout enable mssql uses azure-sql-edge. This version will retire by the end of September.
Will "SQL Server Express edition" be used in the future by any chance?

Thanks!

Looks like the official image doesn't offer an ARM64 build (microsoft/mssql-docker#802). I was going to handle it here, but I failed when I tested on an M1 Mac, so I'm skipping that for now. Not sure if there are other alternatives.

Looks like it didn't fail, but I got a warning about the platform.

Looks like we can rely on Rosetta if we specify a platform on Mac users like --platform linux/amd64 (here)... it will be slower than a native build, but I guess that works for local dev?

Thanks! Yes, I’m running it locally, it works fine for local dev. Not sure what happens when Rosetta support is dropped in 2027. But this works for now.

@dducro I've tagged version v3.2.0 with the new image. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
