SQL Server 2025: Build Always On HA & DR Solutions free download

Learn how to create and test SQL Server 2025 Always On for HA, DR, read-only routing, and smart backups

Are you ready to take your SQL Server skills to the next level?
Do you want to build systems that never go down, protect your data from disasters, and support enterprise-grade workloads 24/7?

Welcome to SQL Server 2025: Build Always On HA & DR Solutions — a hands-on, step-by-step course designed to teach you how to plan, deploy, and manage Always On Availability Groups (AGs) using the latest features of SQL Server 2025.

This course is created for DBAs, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to master high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) using Microsoft’s Always On technology — whether on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid environments.

What You’ll Learn

In this course, you will learn to:

• Understand HA and DR concepts in SQL Server 2025

• Build and configure Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC)

• Deploy Always On Availability Groups from scratch

• Set up and manage the AG Listener for client connections

• Configure read-only routing for reporting and BI workloads

• Offload backups using Preferred Backup Replica

• Perform failover testing: automatic, manual, and forced

• Monitor and troubleshoot AG health

• Integrate real-world ASP.NET Core apps with AG Listener

• Apply best practices for performance and uptime

100% Hands-On with Real Labs

This course is not just theory. You’ll build your own lab environment using virtual machines and simulate real-world HA/DR use cases.

We guide you through every step — from cluster setup to full availability group testing. Whether you're creating an AG with two replicas or deploying to a multi-subnet environment, this course shows you how it works in practice.

No scripts without context. No fluff. Just practical demos you can repeat and apply at work.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for:

• SQL Server DBAs who want to expand into high availability

• System admins building robust infrastructure for critical systems

• Cloud engineers deploying SQL Server with HA in Azure or hybrid setups

• Software developers integrating database failover in their apps

• Students preparing for SQL Server certification or job interviews

Whether you are new to Always On or want to upgrade your skills with SQL Server 2025, this course is your complete HA/DR training kit.

SQL Server 2025 introduces new features that make Always On more powerful and easier to manage — including clusterless AG, enhanced failover handling, and better monitoring tools.

Learning these skills now puts you ahead of the curve — and in high demand for enterprise roles that require zero downtime, multi-site protection, and resilient architecture.

You’ll be able to confidently design, deploy, and maintain highly available SQL Server 2025 environments — and support failover, recovery, and backup strategies like a pro.
