DEM161: Windows to Linux: Replatforming assistant for SQL Server databases

Are you still paying the Windows Server licensing tax? Customers are looking to modernize their Microsoft SQL Server workloads from a Windows to Linux operating system to save on Windows licensing costs. AWS simplifies this replatforming with SQL Server replatforming assistant. In this demo, learn how you can use the replatforming assistant with any Windows Server virtual machines (VMs) hosted in the cloud or with on-premises environments running SQL Server 2008 or later. The tool checks for common incompatibilities, exports databases from the Windows VM, and imports into an EC2 instance running SQL Server 2017. The automated process results in a ready-to-use Linux VM configured with your selected SQL Server databases.
