Kubernetes (K8s) is a highly scalable platform for running containerized applications, and includes HA capabilities. K8s is becoming increasingly popular for running database applications such as SQL Server because of the enterprise-grade features that are included as part of the base environment. K8s integrated features such as scheduling, resource management, load balancing, auto restart, and others can increase workload availability. SQL Server is supported on many Kubernetes distributions and deployment models. SQL Server can be deployed on K8s as stand-alone instances with containers, with Azure Arc in Azure, Azure Arc on-premises using Azure Arc-enabled SQL Managed Instance, and many other ways.
