Enabling [!INCLUDE[ssHADR](../../../includes/sshadr-md.md)] is a prerequisite for a server instance to use availability groups. Before you can create and configure any availability group, the [!INCLUDE[ssHADR](../../../includes/sshadr-md.md)] feature must have been enabled on the each instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] that will host an availability replica for one or more availability groups.

- Prior to SQL Server 2017, and Windows Server 2016, the instance had to reside on a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) node to enable the Always On availability group feature. To support [read-scale availability groups](read-scale-availability-groups.md), starting with SQL Server 2017 and Windows Server 2016, it's possible to enable the availability group feature even if the SQL Server instance does not reside on a Windows Server Failover Cluster.
