##### Session 1
Clustering is designed to minimise downtime. Done badly clustering can be the largest source of unplanned downtime! This session goes through the technology choices currently available for Linux-based HANA and Netweaver on Azure. It covers some of the challenges we have seen in the field and provides some guidance on building a strategy for automated configuration management to minimise the risk of outage due to poor implementation or operational procedure
