A Rapid Adoption Plan for moving SQL Server to AWS
Microsoft SQL Server users will typically face three key considerations in moving their SQL Server environments to AWS services.
- How will my licensing be impacted?
- Are there support considerations?
- How do I design for redundancy and availability?
- What about the security and migration of the data from on-premises to the cloud?
