SQL Azure IaaS VM HA Options 9/12/2018 7:00 PM SQL Azure IaaS VM HA Options SQL Windows Cluster SQL Availability Groups Single-Instance VM Azure VM Availability Set In order to create traditional Windows/SQL Cluster (Active/Passive) requires SIOS DataKeeper to mimic shared drives in the cloud or Win 2016 Guest Clustering Recommended HA approach for SQL Server in Azure VMs 99.9% uptime guarantee from MSFT with Premium disks (no SLA for standard disks) 99.95% uptime guarantee from MSFT Only use this option if required by application (i.e. SAP NetWeaver) Additional requirement of load balancer for virtual host routing Better storage stamp separation if you use Managed Disks Requires you to maintain 2 or more copies of the same VM Additional costs incurred in data replication and SIOS licensing Easy and quick to configure with pre-built templates in Azure Gallery Premium Managed Disks protects against IOPS capping Protects against Azure system upgrades & patches via update/fault domains Not fully supported by other MSFT Azure infrastructure tools like ASR Integrated and supported in most Azure infrastructure tools (Azure Recovery Services) Author: Mark Kromer, Microsoft Sr. Program Manager © Microsoft Corporation.
