This article provides a comprehensive guide to extending Microsoft SQL Server Always On Availability Groups (AOAG) to Amazon EC2 for disaster recovery purposes. The solution offers a hybrid approach to high availability and disaster recovery for on-premises SQL Server environments.
- Enables organizations to create a cloud-based disaster recovery solution for SQL Server
- Uses AWS Direct Connect or Site-to-Site VPN for secure connectivity
- Extends on-premises Active Directory to AWS
- Adds Amazon EC2 instance as an asynchronous secondary replica to existing AOAG
- Supports both planned and unplanned failover scenarios
Key benefits include enhanced business resilience, cost-effective DR strategy, and the ability to protect against both planned and unplanned service interruptions using AWS infrastructure.
