We all need availability. SQL Server in its first releases had no features to provide high availability. Starting with SQL Server 6.5, we could leverage failover clustering, which tolerate node loss, but no shared storage issue. Then SQL Server 2005 introduced database mirroring, to be more resilient with synchronous and asynchronous storage replica. SQL Server 2012 took the best of both technologies… And virtualization came in. Hardware virtualization. And then containerization, so OS virtualization. Adding orchestration to SQL Server container makes it look and feel like a failover cluster.
This session will give you a good overview of the underlying technology, the key concepts and the terminology to be aware of orchestrator like Kubernetes and be ready to enter the future of SQL Server hosting.
