A big concern for most DBAs and sysadmins supporting SQL Server Always On Availability Groups is that they’re stuck doing operational support. And they have never had the opportunity to design a solution from the ground up.

Most of the time, someone will design and implement the solution while they end up supporting it after production go-live.

And with no proper hand-off and no proper training, they are left trying to figure out what to do when problems come.

They’re stuck dealing with issues that happen over and over again.

Are you wondering why you’ve been supporting SQL Server Always On Availability Groups for years…but have never had the opportunity to be the lead engineer on an implementation project?

And do you feel like this is causing a lot of frustration on how you do your work?

On this episode of the Practical SQL Server HA/DR Show, I’ll talk about how being an operational DBA is contributing to all of these and hurting your career.
