High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of data, reducing downtime, and safeguarding against data loss in enterprise database systems. AWS offers a range of HADR options for SQL Server, which leverage the powerful capabilities of SQL Server along with the scalability and flexibility of AWS. In this article, we will guide you through the process of configuring HADR for SQL Server on AWS, providing practical code examples for setting up and recovering a SQL Server database.
1. Setting up SQL Server on AWS
Launch an EC2 Instance With SQL Server
Initiate the deployment of an EC2 instance: Utilize the AWS Management Console to commence the deployment of an EC2 instance by selecting the suitable SQL Server AMI (Amazon Machine Image). Opt for the instance type that aligns with your specific performance criteria.
Set up security groups: Guarantee that the security groups permit the essential inbound and outbound traffic to facilitate seamless SQL Server communication.
