Okay, so let's sign in. Click Connect. We do this in an HTML5 way,
although I understand that Bastion is gradually embracing

this to work. Try that again.
Now that were signed in,
this is obviously running a downlevel version of Windows Server,
Windows Server 2012 R2, I believe.
Let's open up SQL Server Management Studio, and we can see that my
user database here is showing as synchronized. Whoops! I don't want
updates right now. And then under Always On High Availability, we have
our ‑‑‑ It looks like I'm actually connected to the secondary
instance, but what I mainly wanted to show here is the Always On
listener that we created,

you'll notice again we have a mapping that I created manually
to 10.0.1.9 and TCP 1433. That's it. We have to remember that
AZ‑801 is not a SQL Server exam,
so I've gone beyond what you can expect to see coverage of on
this on the exam. But because this subject of floating IP and
load balancing SQL Server does, in fact, tend to recur on quite a few of the Azure exams, I think this demo is pretty worth your while.
