Hello,
We currently have SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group on premise. It's only a 2-node WFSC. All nodes are 2012 Windows
Server and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. I'm in the process of trying to extend the on-prem SQL Server Avaibility Group to
Azure by adding an Azure VM node to make it a 3-node WFSC. When I got to the step of validating this node in the Windows
Failover Cluster, one of the failed steps was the Operating System being different. This Azure node is Windows Server 2016
with SQL Server 2016 Developer. My questions is: does anyone know if my Azure node/vm need to match the same
hardware specs as those two nodes on-prem?
Thanks
