SQL Server with WSFC on AWS: SQL Server with WSFC Quick Start

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for the SQL Server Quick Start. This Quick Start reference deployment 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 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. The deployment guide is offered here as a free Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format; see https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/sql/.
