We have a SQL 2019 Failover Cluster Instance - Default Instance. Question seems lame but...
My question is, what is the "Best Practice" on connecting? Directly to the SQL Cluster name? Or some want us to create a DNS Alias to that SQL Cluster Name, is that best practice or even a "supported" way??
I think "Best Practice" is to connect to the SQL Cluster Name, but I can't find any links on the matter.
Does anyone know or have links?
Thanks

We mostly use DNS aliasses to have applications connect to our clustered instances.
( more meaningful naming conventions as with our server names )
Doing so, we can migrate the sqlcluster without having to modify the application. ( only modify the dns alias )
( of course after intensive testing on an isolated environment )

Are you using an Availability Group, or Windows clustering?
