Auto-failover groups for Azure SQL Hyperscale now in preview

We are excited to announce the preview release of auto-failover groups for Azure SQL Hyperscale tier. This preview release includes support for forced and planned failover for Azure SQL Hyperscale databases that use active geo-replication and auto-failover groups. Some key benefits of auto-failover groups include:

Simplified management of a group of geo-replicated databases including ability to failover the entire group of databases.

Ability for application to maintain the same read/write and read-only endpoints after failover.

Recovery during loss of an entire region through geo-failover which can be initiated manually or through an automatic failover policy.

Readable online secondaries that can be used for read-only workloads by connecting with read-only listener endpoints which remain unchanged during geo-failovers.
