SQL Server on Virtual Machines Best Practices

Storage Recommendations Do not use write caching Avoid using OS drive for large databases Consider putting database and transaction log files on separate drives Consider putting tempdb on the non-persistent cache disk (D:\) Database Recommendations Consider using database page compression to reduce I/O High Availability Recommendations Consider latency between primary and replica when choosing sync mode
