![]() This assessment helps us to reduce the Disk cost and utilization. (Resource utilization like CPU/Memory/IOPS etc) Performance benchmarks if any /Capacity Planning “License Included” pricing is inclusive of software, underlying hardware resources, and Amazon RDS management capabilities.” Please refer for more details.ĥ. You do not need separately purchased Microsoft SQL Server licenses. “Amazon RDS for SQL Server supports the “License Included” licensing model. License Cost can also be reviewed here as AWS comes with License option by default, so it would be important to verify the current licensing option with your organization and Microsoft that can be further evaluated. It can be in terms of Infrastructure cost or human resource cost or maintenance cost etc. One of the main reasons for cloud migration is cost saving. Conduct an inventory of your SQL Server databases Conduct an inventory of your SQL Server instancesĢ. ![]() I would also suggest to have an evaluation done by an Amazon professional for smooth transition.ġ. Please note, it is a very wide topic and we should do a careful evaluation depending on your application/project workloads and other characteristics. I would like to list out few parameters to help in this decision making as below. We all should be aware the fact that it is NOT definitely a LIFT and SHIFT technique, but needs lots of understanding of your system and careful evaluation of certain things. Since we had seen some of the differences between Amazon RDS & Amazon EC2 services, it is time for us to evaluate which one would be best suited for our application if there is a migration plan exists. The above are the major comparison chart, more detailed information, please refer See Also section. We need to understand this reference may or may not needs changes as Amazon increases its capabilities in future and we may need to compare with the latest at the time. A quick reference table is prepared as below (as on 25th Apr 2020). Now, its very important for SQL Server Professionals that to understand the supporting features for Amazon RDS and Amazon EC2. Hence, its is more of business drivers that the customer can spend more effort on their data rather than maintenance and manageability of their database or instance. Amazon RDS supports various relational database engines like MySQL, PostgresSQL, MS SQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Maria DB and Amazon Aurora etc.Īmazon Relational Database Service provides many more managed services compared to EC2 as shown in the below picture. Service would take care of maintenance and manageability of service instances. RDS is a fully managed service without much control to the user. It provides us a complete control for settings/configuration etc.Ģ. Again, I do not want to go in detail about AWS since lots of resources available in internet and its just a google search away.ĪWS offers a great flexibility to run SQL server with two major options:ĮC2 is a version of VM in Amazon cloud platform. Its a “pay-as-you-go” computing model that means you can scale your depending on your needs and pay for the service. It includes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS) and Software As a Service (SaaS). ![]() ![]() Let us quickly understand what is AWS first?ĪWS is a cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. This blog post concentrates on AWS and SQL Server. Not just because its success stories,but also I loved the challenges while assessing different scenarios SQL Server with Cloud computing and its support. I would like to admit the fact that it was a “walk away” for me initially, but its quite interesting and fascinated knowing more about. Its an era of Cloud computing and anywhere you go, people talk about cloud computing and its usages, migration and benefits etc.So, I thought of taking an initiative on understanding how SQL Server is versed with Cloud. ![]()
