Manage Microsoft SQL Server workloads on Amazon EC2 using Application Manager capability in AWS Systems Manager

Posted on: Dec 15, 2020

With Application Manager, a new capability in AWS Systems Manager, it is now easier to manage SQL Server workloads that are deployed using AWS Launch Wizard. Application Manager automatically imports SQL Server resources created by AWS Launch Wizard, and enables you to perform operational tasks such as database integrity checks, backup and restore, and index maintenance centrally from the Application Manager console.  

AWS Launch Wizard offers a guided way of sizing, configuring, and deploying AWS resources for third party applications. Launch Wizard supports deploying SQL Server, Active Directory, and SAP based workloads on Amazon EC2. AWS Systems Manager Application Manager enables customers to manage their applications from a single console. It enables developers and operators to discover their applications, view operational data, and perform actions within the context of an application.
