Deployment of SQL Server 2019 Always On Availability Groups on Azure AKS

Step through a demonstration illustrating a sample deployment of SQL Server 2019 Always On Availability Group cluster on Azure AKS. You'll discover how to leverage the Microsoft Azure-hosted managed Kubernetes service referred to as AKS.

SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups Monitoring and Alerting - Part 2

In this tip we look at some additional scripts that you can use to monitor your SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups.

Configuring SQL Server Always on Azure Servers(Iaas)

Configuration of SQL Server Always on in Azure Virtual machines differs in multiple ways comparing with the on-premise Implementations. This article will help you to have a handy note to configure always on in Azure servers from a DBA perspective.

Endpoint Owner

Automatically Failover (Enable or Disable) Jobs Based on HADR Role

If you have a SQL Server with a High Availability solution (AlwaysOn Availability Groups, Database Mirroring, etc.), and you also have a bunch of jobs which you need to be run on the Primary server only. You need to be able to "failover" the jobs in case the Primary server is no longer Primary.

Always On - Endpoint Ownership

Whoever creates an AlwaysOn group is, by default, the owner of the endpoint. This is generally not a problem…unless that person leaves the company and you need to delete the login.

Configure Read Only Routing

The advantage of Setting the readable secondary as Read-Intent Only will allow the secondary server to serve the read-only workload only if the connection string of the application contains Application Intent=Readonly parameter.

Network Configuration of SQL Server Always On Availability Groups in Azure

Implementing SQL Server Failover Clustering in Azure virtual machines differs in several aspects from its on-premises implementations. These differences reflect some of the unique characteristics of the storage and network infrastructure services in the Microsoft cloud environment. In this article, Marcin Policht looks at the networking aspects of clustered deployments of SQL Server 2016 in Azure.

The Connection to the Primary Replica is not Active

In this article, I’m going to talk an issue that I found when joining replica or database on secondary replica to availability group.
