Here’s the abstract for the talk

Have you deployed Availability Groups in your data center? Are you monitoring your Availability Groups to ensure you can meet your recovery objectives? If you haven’t this is the session for you. We will discuss the importance of monitoring and trending Availability Group Replication, how AGs move data between replicas and the impact replication latency can have on the availability of your systems. We’ll also give you the tools and techniques to go back to the office and get started monitoring and trending right away!

In the recent weeks I worked with my editor and we have selecting a course topic “Understanding and Using Essential Tools in Enterprise Linux 7”. This will be the first course in a series of courses that covers the Red Hat Certified System Administrator® (RHCSA) and Red Hat Certified Engineer® (RHCE) certifications.
