Added new documentation guide that demonstrates how to automate the deployment and configuration of SQL Server with Datadog Database Monitoring using Terraform and Ansible. Key features: - Complete Terraform configuration for Windows Server + SQL Server 2022 - Ansible playbook for Datadog Agent installation and DBM setup - Security-first approach with IP validation and no 0.0.0.0/0 defaults - Windows authentication for SQL Server monitoring - Step-by-step deployment and verification instructions - Comprehensive troubleshooting section - Production considerations (HA, security, performance, cost) - Multi-environment setup examples This guide makes heavy use of the production-ready Terraform/Ansible automation developed in the dbm repository and provides a complete reference for teams implementing infrastructure-as-code for DBM.
