Migrating Microsoft SQL Server workloads to AWS can bring substantial cost savings, scalability, and performance improvements. However, navigating licensing requirements and options for SQL Server can be complex.
In this session, we’ll dive into the different SQL Server licensing options available on AWS, covering both BYOL (Bring Your Own License) and License Included (LI) options. You’ll also discover how the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (AWS OLA) helps reduce license and compute costs before and after migration.
Finally, we’ll discuss how to future-proof your infrastructure by modernizing from SQL Server to open-source, cloud-native solutions like Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, eliminating the complexity of licensing compliance and end-of-support.
