Businesses are moving their applications and data to the cloud because of agility, elasticity, speed of innovation, and cost savings. Meanwhile, SQL Server customers have to deal with upgrade cycles and end of support challenges. At AWS, we provide the most performant and secure infrastructure to run SQL Server workloads, while championing a track record of making it easier and more cost-effective for customers to accelerate migration and modernization projects. In this fireside chat, we will walk through three outcome-driven pathways that AWS designed over the past decade to simplify SQL Server transformation for customers at different cloud adoption stages.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

  • Achieve quick wins and save by lifting and shifting SQL Server workloads to the cloud
  • Offload undifferentiated DBA tasks by leveraging fully-managed database services
  • Accelerate business innovations by refactoring to purpose-built databases
