AWS Launch Wizard now offers a guided approach to sizing, configuring, and deploying Windows Server EC2 instances with Microsoft SQL Server Developer Edition installed from your own media. AWS Launch Wizard for SQL Server Developer Edition allows you to simplify launching cost-effective and full-featured SQL Server instances on Amazon EC2, making it ideal for developers building non-production and test database environments.
This feature is ideal for customers who also have existing non-production databases running SQL Server Enterprise Edition or SQL Server Standard Edition, as migrating the non-production databases to SQL Server Developer Edition will reduce SQL license costs while maintaining feature parity.
This feature is available in all supported commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To learn more, see the AWS Launch Wizard for SQL Server User Guide and blog post here.
