Recorded Webinar
Simplify Hybrid SQL Server: Windows & Red Hat OpenShift Side By Side
Featuring Red Hat, Microsoft, & DH2i
Aired on August 20, 2026
Is your organization looking to extend your SQL Server OLTP environment to Red Hat OpenShift? An increasing number of IT teams are adopting a hybrid approach that allows them to take advantage of Kubernetes for development and testing, while also continuing to run production workloads on Windows Server. Unfortunately, it is not easy to get there.
Teams have traditionally been forced to manage a patchwork of platform-limited HA solutions, endure labor-intensive networking tech and firewall manipulations, design and maintain complex ETLs to link dev/test and production, and worst of all—do it all under the looming threat of extended downtime.
This webinar shows you a safer, simpler way that enables unified HA for your hybrid cluster AND leaves the door open for organizations interested in full modernization.
Join Microsoft, Red Hat, and DH2i for a walkthrough showing you how to deploy a secure, cross-platform Availability Group (AG) that seamlessly bridges the gap between a Windows Server virtual machine and Red Hat OpenShift. You’ll learn how to:
- Automate the deployment of a Kubernetes AG cluster with an operator
- Securely connect replicas across platforms with ZTNA tunneling
- Protect your databases with HA automation across your hybrid SQL Server environment
Don’t miss this walkthrough demo designed to help any IT team take their SQL Server from legacy infrastructure to a scalable, hybrid cloud environment with Azure Red Hat OpenShift.
