Amazon EC2 for SQL Server HA now supports health notifications

Today, AWS announced that you can now receive notifications through the AWS Health Dashboard when Amazon EC2 for SQL Server cannot detect a valid SQL Server High Availability (HA) status.

This enhancement is particularly valuable for customers who register EC2 SQL HA clusters through AWS Console or CloudFormation automation to reduce license included costs. You can receive this notification through multiple channels, including AWS Health, Amazon EventBridge events, and email. These notifications will guide you to respond quickly, helping avoid unexpected billing costs or charges.

To learn more, access the High Availability for SQL Server on Amazon EC2 user guide for additional details. This feature is accessible in all AWS Regions where Amazon EC2 SQL HA is available and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
