Amazon yesterday announced the availability of Virtual Machine Images (AMI’s) for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 running on top of Windows Server 2012 R2.
The AMIs provide paravirtualized drivers certified by Microsoft allowing them to run on top of AWS. Customers who already have Windows Server 2012 R2 running can now also import those VMs using the VM Import functionality. SQL Server 2014 is provided in the Standard, Web and Express edition.
