Do you sometimes get discouraged?

– You’ve been trying to learn SQL Server Always On Availability Groups for months – even years – and you feel like giving up because it’s too complicated and confusing.

– You attempted to set it up from the ground up – but failed miserably. You started to question your technical skills. And now you don’t even want to get anywhere near an AG.

– You don’t know what you don’t know and it’s freaking you out because you’re responsible for it – you’re the lead engineer.

It’s easy to get discouraged when you know you’re not making progress – especially when it’s your responsibility. It can be frustrating when a problem happens and you don’t know what to do. You’re supposed to be the subject matter expert.

The truth is, trying to build and/or manage a SQL Server Always On Availability Group can be discouraging when you’re starting out. And the Microsoft documentation doesn’t make it easy. There’s so much information available that it gets more confusing. So, it’s easier to just quit.
