SQL Server on Linux for Disaster Recovery

Mika Sutinen shares a use case:

SQL Server on Linux has been an option for quite a while already, but I have to admit that personally, I have previously not been a very excited about that idea. This is mostly due to some complexities and limitations of SQL Server on Linux. However, the recent CrowdStrike incident made it quite obvious, that there’s a great use case for it. And that use case is Disaster Recovery.

The idea of having some operating system variety makes sense, though read the whole thing, as some companies will use components that SQL Server doesn’t offer for Linux.

And if you want a deep dive into using SQL Server on Linux, I’ll do a bit of self-promotion and reference my video series on the topic.
