I’ve had the opportunity to speak at the EightKB virtual conference and talk about a topic that I spent decades trying to learn.
The goal of EightKB is to provide high value, highly technical content that focuses on what makes SQL Server work.
And since my area of expertise is on high availability and disaster recovery, I thought it would be a great idea to speak about how SQL Server interacts with the Windows Server Failover Cluster to achieve high availability.
If you’ve been following the series of blog posts on The SQL Server DBA’s Guide to Windows Server Failover Clustering, the presentation will be very familiar to you.
My goal was to simply provide this information to a much wider audience – especially SQL Server DBAs (or even sysadmins) who are responsible for taking care of Always On Availability Groups.
And while the series of blog posts walked you through screenshots while explaining what’s happening inside the cluster service, this presentation combines everything I’ve covered in a single video.
