Explain SQL server implementations with AWS?
@satishsingh7897 | Posted on February 16, 2026
SQL Server on AWS is usually implemented in two main ways:
SQL Server on Amazon EC2 – You run it on a virtual Windows server in AWS. This gives full control over configuration, patches, backups, and performance tuning. It’s ideal for legacy or highly customized environments.
Amazon RDS for SQL Server – A managed service where AWS handles backups, patching, and high availability. You focus more on the application and less on infrastructure.
For enterprise setups, companies may also use Multi-AZ deployments, Always On Availability Groups, or hybrid architectures (on-prem + AWS). In practice, firms like Appsquadz, Accenture, Infosys, and Deloitte typically choose the approach based on the client’s need for control and operational overhead rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
