Automating Clusterless Availability Group failovers
 

This is a demo of using a scripted solution to safely failover clusterless availability groups: 'ReadScale' which is available on Standard Edition for DR requirements, and Distributed Availability Groups which is available on Enterprise, and is often used for DR and migration purposes. It'll touch on the pre-requisites, the safety checks to ensure failover is viable, the failover process, and the post-failover checks to ensure that we are production-ready.
