we have a transaction database(A) and we want to load data from A into an ODS(B) environment this will be straight replica of A.
The purpose of ODS is for reporting(no Dataware house) and since we do not want to touch A due to transaction load we choose to have ODS as replica(same as A).
We thought of SSIS to get the delta data from the database A using CDC and it works fine. But I heard about Clustering(Always high availability) and I am still exploring the pros and cons so would appreciate if we get some suggestions or help.
We are using sql server 2016 and Azure. I am not able to find much details on 2016 version so though to take help with MSDN.
Suggestions/help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
