Exchange Database Availability Groups
Automatic database-level recovery built into Exchange
Database Availability Groups
Boundary for mailbox database replication, database and server switchovers, failovers, and an internal component called Active Manager.
Any server in a DAG can host a copy of a mailbox DB from any other server in the DAG.
DAGs make use of Windows Server Failover Clustering capabilities such as the cluster heartbeat, cluster networks, and the cluster database.
Once the DAG is configured, active mailbox databases on each server can be replicated to other DAG members for resilience against outages & flexible switchover for maintenance.

Integrated Cluster Maintenance
Cluster-Aware Updating ensures clusters stay patched & protected
Hyper-V Host Maintenance
Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) will orchestrate the automatic Live Migration of Exchange VMs away from Hyper-V nodes that are ready to be patched.
Node is placed into maintenance mode before patching, and removed upon completion.
CAU can be manually triggered, or set to Self- Updating Mode for automated patching on a scheduled basis - daily, weekly, or monthly intervals
CAU can also be extended to include 3rd party patches, hotfixes, firmware updates etc.
CAU can be managed via PowerShell or through GUI.
No downtime to the Exchange Virtual Machines whilst the process of patching the host is underway.
