Customers across multiple industries have been running Windows workloads on AWS since 2009—long before it was possible with other cloud providers. We have far and away the most experience running Microsoft applications in the cloud, and we offer the best platform for Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server.

AWS supports everything you expect to build and run on Windows, including Active Directory, .NET, SQL Server, Windows desktop as a service (DaaS), and supported versions of Windows Server. We provide Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, the first and only fully managed native-Windows file system available in the cloud. And we enable durable, performant block storage for your most demanding SQL Server deployments with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). With our proven expertise, AWS can help you select and implement the right solution for your enterprise. In fact, we’ve yet to find a Windows workload that can’t be redeployed to run at a lower cost.
