Migrating SQL Server databases to the cloud is a critical part of some cloud journeys and requires planning and architectural considerations. In this session, learn best practices and guidelines for migrating and/or architecting a SQL Server architecture on AWS. Compare and contrast various migration methods, including SQL export, backup and restore, using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), and rearchitecting for open source databases. We also provide guidance on how to migrate SQL Server products that have approached or hit their end of life, such as SQL Server 2008.
