We have good news. Two business continuity features for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc are now generally available:



  • View Failover Cluster Instance

  • Manage Availability Group


With Azure Arc, these features help you manage high availability and disaster recovery for SQL Server workloads across on-premises, hybrid and multi- cloud environment. You can now manage them all from the comfort and convenience of the Azure portal.



  • View Failover Cluster Instance lets you see your failover cluster instances. You can find out things like:

    • Which nodes are active or passive

    • What is the network name

    • What databases they have

    • This capability mirrors the convenience of managing standalone instances of SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc.

    • To learn more, read Viewing Always On Failover Cluster Instances in Azure Arc.



  • Manage Availability Group lets you check and control your availability groups. You can do things like:

    • See what availability groups you have

    • See their status and health

    • Failover to another node, if needed

    • To learn more, read Inventory and Status of Always On Availability Groups.




We want to hear your feedback about these features. Thank you for choosing Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server for your on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud solutions.
