Hi, Simple question - Does distributed AG need windows clustering?
------
From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/prereqs-restrictions-recommendations-always-on-availability?view=sql-server-2017
"SQL Server 2016 introduces distributed availability groups. In a distributed availability group two availability groups reside on different clusters."

So looks like it does need windows clustering right?
---
Reason i ask is we have a main server where clustering is there & we have setup AG. Now, there is another stand-alone (no windows clustering) server which is to be used for reporting, but as it doesn't have windows clustering - we cannot setup AG between the transactional sql cluster & this stand alone reporting sql box with no windows clustering right?

just a yes or no with appropriate link will suffice, thanks.
