More Windows Azure E2E Scripts!

  • Article

In case you're not already aware, I've written additional scripts for Windows Azure deployment of AlwaysOn Availability Groups for you to play with. Windows Azure provides an ever-expanding set of PowerShell cmdlets, which make automated deployments and administration of SQL Server on IaaS a reality. These scripts are there as proofs of concept to you as well as a starting point for you in building an end-to-end scenario that fits your needs (with the usual disclaimers "for testing purposes only" and such).

These script deploy end-to-end, including creating the VMs, configuring DC, SQL Server accounts, WSFC cluster, creating the availability group and even a fully functional listener for client connectivity. The cloud-only deployment script (first on the list) is truly end-to-end, which only requires an empty working subscription and minimal requirements for running the script. The hybrid deployment script have more complex requirements since it requires an existing on-premise domain, a site-to-site VPN, and some on-premise SQL Server machines in the deployment.

Hope you find it useful, and your feedback/comments are always helpful. J
