SQL Server Cloud Optimization Strategies - Costs, Licensing and Infrastructure

As more businesses move their workloads to the cloud, optimizing costs in the cloud has become a top priority. One of the most significant costs associated with running SQL Server workloads on AWS is licensing.

In this session, we will discuss how to optimize costs on AWS by optimizing SQL Server licensing and infrastructure. We will cover licensing options available on AWS, and strategies for license optimization, including bringing your own licenses, licensing at the physical core level, and SQL Server consolidation.
