Session Title: SQL Server on AWS, what you need to know
Speaker: John Martin
Session Abstract:
When thinking about running SQL Server in the cloud, most people default to Azure. But what about AWS? It might surprise you to find out that it’s a lot easier than you think.
In this session I'll look at the key thinks you need to know when you look at whether AWS is the right place for your SQL Server workloads. Covering the different options, licencing, and deployment scenarios so that you'll have all the things you need to make an informed choice on whether AWS will work for you.
