Stephen,

I’m somewhat surprised as well. My guess is that those technologies aren’t as widely used as we might think. At least, not used enough to make it worth the time and effort to get them working in WASD.

And now, with Azure VMs, it is easier for you to have those features…so my guess is WASD will never get them.

If you use ’em, you have to have them. It’s a full-out show-stopper for some.

Cole,

Correct, and the replicas are not accessible in Azure. Folks that use mirroring right now are (possibly) doing so in an effort to offload a reporting solution. Since mirroring is a fairly popular solution these days it tends to be one of the things I hear folks wish was in Azure, but is not.

Thanks!

Sql azure automatically maintains a default replica set of 3. And provides automatic faliover and geo redundancy. Or do you mean that you’d automatically like 3 readable primaries to be maintained?
