Dynamics GP 2016 HA deployment (preferably what AWS RDS)

(1) ShareShare

Hello,

There is surprisingly little documentation out there about this, which makes me think perhaps it's not a supported configuration, or there has been very little public documentation about it. I can find a single Microsoft KB article about it, and a couple old threads here.

We need to setup our Dynamics GP 2016 application in a way that the Database is not a single point of failure. Since we have staff all over the globe using the application, a database outage is not acceptable.

Since we're on AWS, my preference would be to put the GP database on RDS. However, I cannot find any documentation that supports this configuration. Even just for a straightforward MSSQL Database Cluster, there isn't much documentation about this either.

My question is this:

1. Has anyone successfully deployed Dynamics GP 2016 to AWS RDS?

2. If not #1, has anyone successfully deployed Dynamics GP 2016 to an MSSQL Cluster?

Appreciate any guidance you can provide.

    Hi @mAurelius,

    This isn't really a supported configuration by Microsoft.. but they do have documentation about log shipping.

    Here's another forum post that might point you in the right direction :   community.dynamics.com/.../286763

    Your best bet seems to go with the new AlwaysOn features from SQL 2014 & up.
