AWS vs. Azure vs. On-Premises

Compare SQL Server across various platforms. Choose how you want to run SQL Server and compare it to another option, such as Azure SQL VM vs AWS EC2 VM. See differences in pricing, features, performance, flexibility, storage, etc.

Choosing where to run SQL Server comes down to the same questions every time: what it costs at your real workload, how much management it offloads, the high-availability and disaster-recovery tradeoffs, and how hard the migration is. These comparisons weigh the actual options, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, SQL Server on an Azure VM, AWS RDS for SQL Server, EC2, and on-premises, on exactly those terms. Once you have picked a direction, our SQL Server migration team can plan and run the move.
