SSIS installed on Azure Marketplace SQL Server 2025 VM, but SSIS Catalog components are missing

I deployed a VM from the Azure Marketplace image:

  • Publisher: microsoftsqlserver
  • Offer: sql2025-ws2025
  • Plan: standard-gen2

Environment:

SQL Server Version

Microsoft SQL Server 2025 (RTM-CU7) (KB5096981)
17.0.4065.4 (X64)
Standard Edition

SSMS Version

SQL Server Management Studio 22.8.2

Summary

The server appears to have the full SSIS runtime installed:

  • Integration Services feature installed
  • Integration Services service running
  • SSIS binaries present

However, all SSIS Catalog-related functionality appears to be missing:

  • No SSISDB database
  • No catalog schema
  • No catalog.create_catalog
  • No Integration Services Catalogs node in SSMS
  • Connect > Integration Services disabled in SSMS

Question

Has anyone else seen this behaviour on the microsoftsqlserver/sql2025-ws2025/standard-gen2 Azure Marketplace image?

Is there an additional step required in SQL Server 2025 to provision the SSIS Catalog, or does this indicate an issue with the Azure Marketplace image?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

    The SSIS support is an optional install with SSMS. Find the Visual Studio Installer in the Start Menu and launch it. Find SSMS 22 and select Modify. Flip to Individual Components and select SSIS. (You will also have to include the SSAS and SSRS support).

    Once you have added SSIS to SSMS, you should be able to create SSISDB from SSMS according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/catalog/ssis-catalog?view=sql-server-ver17. (I don't use SSIS myself.)
