    Just wondered what people's thoughts and experiences are of deploying a 2 node SQL AAG, with one VM each DC, in sync mode, in an active-active DC layout, with 1ms RTT and 1Gbps? Similar to a SAN based geo-cluster. HA and DR in a single tin.

    I'm trying to minimise license costs. Having the 2 node in DC1, with async to site 2 is double the license cost!!

    Have people used other solutions to the two node, perhaps like SIOS DataKeeper. I'm already aware of stuff like Zerto.

    Thanks

    How many sql server VMs do the 2 hosts service?

    Have you checked the sql server licensing guide?
