.EXAMPLE
    This example shows how to ensure that the Availability Group 'TestAG' exists.

    In the event this is applied to a Failover Cluster Instance (FCI), the
    ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode property will tell the Test-TargetResource function
    to evaluate if any changes are needed if the node is actively hosting the
    SQL Server Instance.
