'SQL Server 2016 is making some significant improvements to the Always On Availability Groups set of features. There are a number of features, such as:

• Round-robin load balancing in readable secondaries

• Increased number of auto-failover targets

• Enhanced log replication throughput and redo speed

• Support for group-managed service accounts

• Support for Distributed Transactions (DTC)

• Basic HA in Standard edition

• Direct seeding of new database replicas

These each deserve their own blog post, and I hope to get to them all. However, there is one feature area that I’d like to focus on today because it opens up some interesting scenarios, and has been requested for a very long time.'
