SQL Server High Availability features Supported by Team Foundation Server

In Team Foundation Server 2010, a lot of work went into making Team Foundation Server independent of the SQL Server configuration, especially regarding its HA features. The goal was that Team Foundation Server would work without any HA-specific configurations, no matter which HA feature you used. The reality is that the breadth of HA features in SQL Server is too great to pledge support for all of them. The following table lists the SQL Server HA features supported by TFS:

Failover Clustering
