Overview

DxOperator by DH2i automates the deployment of SQL Server Availability Groups in Kubernetes and effortlessly integrates your workloads into the DxEnterprise HA clustering framework. This gives you the flexibility to deploy SQL Server workloads on any operating system, server configuration, or cloud to maximize performance without fear of downtime or data loss.

Automated Deployment & Lifecycle Management with K8

Automated Deployments for your cluster!

Automates SQL Server container deployment and DxEnterprise cluster setup
Uses Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define desired state
Handles lifecycle operations like updates, scaling, and configuration

Result: eliminates manual YAML + scripting complexity

Enjoy Built in High Availability (HA)

High Availability Built in (HA)

Native support for SQL Server Always On Availability Groups
Automated failover across nodes/platforms in seconds
Supports synchronous, asynchronous, and config-only replicas

Result: enterprise-grade uptime without traditional clustering overhead

Cross Platform & Hybrid Flexibility with containers

Run SQL Server AGs across:

Kubernetes
Linux / Windows
On-prem + cloud + hybrid environments

Result: true portability and modernization flexibility

FAQs

Can DxOperator run AGs across platform?

Yes!

DxOperator can Run SQL Server AGs across:

Kubernetes
Linux / Windows
On-prem + cloud + hybrid environments

Result: true portability and modernization flexibility

Do you have any plans to deploy critical SQL Server workloads in containers?

DxOperator by DH2i paves the easiest possible path to deploy SQL Server in Kubernetes within a DxEnterprise cluster, and DxE enables the lowest possible downtime for containerized deployments with fully automatic failover for SQL Server AGs in Kubernetes.

Is your organization licensing a lot of passive node infrastructure to support Windows HA?

DxEnterprise’s proprietary Vhost abstraction layer enables organizations to safely stack HA instances and reduce their passive node count. E.g. Instead of 6 machines supporting 3 SQL Server instances in an active-passive configuration, organizations can create a 3-node HA cluster supporting 3 instances - each with 2 available failover targets. This approach helps organizations increase resource utilization and save big on SQL Server licensing.
