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.

  1. How will my licensing be impacted?
  2. Are there support considerations?
  3. How do I design for redundancy and availability?
  4. What about the security and migration of the data from on-premises to the cloud?
