Amazon EC2 now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025 with License-Included (LI) Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), providing a quick way to launch the latest version of SQL Server. By running SQL Server 2025 on Amazon EC2, customers can take advantage of the security, performance, and reliability of AWS with the latest SQL Server features.
Amazon creates and manages Microsoft SQL Server 2025 AMIs to simplify the provisioning and management of SQL Server 2025 on EC2 Windows instances. These images support version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol by default for enhanced performance and security. These images also come with pre-installed software such as AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell, AWS Systems Manager, AWS CloudFormation, and various network and storage drivers to make your management easier.
SQL Server 2025 AMIs are available in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To learn more about the new AMIs, see SQL Server AMIs User Guide or read the blog post.
