Create an SLA Domain

Now that you have added the host to RSC, you must start protecting your workload. For that, first, you will create a Global SLA policy for the SQL2 host and then assign the SLA policy to the host.

Navigate to SLA DOMAINS > CREATE SLA DOMAIN.

1. Rubrik’s robust SLA policy engine ensures that data is where it needs to be when it needs to be there, enabling Rubrik to deliver rapid recovery combined with the security provided by encryption and an immutable filesystem.

2. The robust SLA policy creation process is similar across all the different workloads, e.g., across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS.

Let's move on to the next step of assigning the newly created SLA Domain to MS SQL objects.
