This Quick Start implements a high availability solution built with Microsoft Windows Server and SQL Server running on Amazon EC2, using the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature of SQL Server Enterprise edition. The deployment includes Windows Server Active Directory with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and clustered SQL Server 2012 or 2014 instances on the AWS cloud. This infrastructure provides the underpinnings for many Microsoft technology-based solutions for the enterprise, including Microsoft SharePoint and .NET Framework applications.
The Quick Start includes an AWS CloudFormation template that automates the deployment. The deployment guide provides architectural considerations and configuration steps for running WSFC clusters in the AWS cloud, and instructions for configuring and testing the WSFC cluster and SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group. This documentation is offered for free here as a Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format at https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/.
To install SQL Server with other Windows servers on AWS in a single deployment, see the Quick Start for Microsoft servers at https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/microsoft-servers/.
