Contained Availability Groups - Failover Questions.

  • Hi

    I am considering creating Contained Availability Groups in my production environment. Thinking I need to drop disabled jobs that live on both servers first?

    I've searched and read allot of Contained Availability Groups articles but none of them that I can find describe the failover process once the Contained Availability Groups are setup.

    During a failover from primary to secondary - does the secondary server just know to use the Contained Availability Group (the MSDB in the new contained group) and it ignores its own local MSDB and knows to use the contained version? Assuming it knows that when failing back ignore all local master and MSDB and use only what is in the Contained Availability Group? So I would need to make sure to add all the jobs. And if I create a primary and secondary can they contain different jobs from each?

    So for example we have a Power BI instance that runs only on our secondary. It has its own jobs that don't run on the primary. Do I add these only in the secondary contained AG? Sorry I'm kinda confused on best way to handle this. Assuming that the jobs must match on Primary and Secondary?
