Choosing the right SQL Server option in AWS depends on various factors such as the size of your data, performance requirements, budget, and existing infrastructure. Here are some options you can consider:
- Amazon RDS for SQL Server: This is a fully managed SQL Server database service in AWS. It offers features such as automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and automatic software patching. It is a good option if you don’t want to manage the infrastructure and prefer a highly available and scalable solution.
- EC2 instances with SQL Server installed: This option gives you complete control over the SQL Server configuration and the underlying infrastructure. You can install SQL Server on an EC2 instance and customize it as per your requirements. This option is suitable if you have specific hardware requirements, need more control over the SQL Server environment, or have existing licensing agreements with Microsoft.
