This edition provides core database capabilities with improved performance, advanced security protocols, and basic high-availability options, making it suitable for a wide range of departmental and medium-scale business applications.
Key Features:
- Integrated Platform: A pre-optimized, validated stack of RHEL 8 and SQL Server 2022 Standard, reducing compatibility issues and deployment time.
- Enhanced Security: Benefit from the combined security postures of RHEL and SQL Server, including features like Transparent Data Encryption and fine-grained access controls.
This solution is ideal for organizations seeking to deploy business applications, custom line-of-business software, e-commerce platforms, or business intelligence dashboards on AWS. It offers a streamlined path to migrate existing Windows-based SQL Server workloads to a Linux environment or to provision new, cost-effective database instances with simplified subscription management directly through your AWS account.
Highlights
- A pre-configured, validated solution combining RHEL 8 stability with SQL Server performance, ensuring compatibility and reducing deployment complexity.
- Leverage layered security from the hardened RHEL 8 OS and SQL Server 2022 features like data encryption for a protected database environment.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Follow these steps to launch and start using your pre-configured SQL Server instance.
1. Subscribe and Launch the AMI
- Navigate to the product page on AWS Marketplace.
- Click the Continue to Subscribe button, review the terms, and accept the offer.
- After subscription, configure the software. Select a fulfillment option, usually the Bring Your Own License model.
- Click Continue to Configuration. Choose your preferred AMI version and target AWS Region.
- Click Continue to Launch. You will be redirected to the EC2 launch wizard.
2. Configure and Launch the EC2 Instance
- Choose an Action: Typically Launch from Website or Launch through EC2.
- In the EC2 launch wizard, select a compatible instance type. For production, consider memory-optimized R5 or general-purpose M5 instances.
- Configure network settings: Assign a VPC, subnet, and a security group. The security group must allow inbound traffic on port 1433 for SQL Server and port 22 for SSH if needed for administration.
- Configure storage: Attach an EBS volume with sufficient size and performance IOPS for your database. Use gp3 or io2 volumes for production.
- Review all settings and launch the instance. Select an existing key pair to enable secure SSH access to the underlying Linux OS.
3. Connect and Configure SQL Server
- Once the instance status shows Running, note its public or private IP address.
- Retrieve the system administrator password. Connect to the Linux instance via SSH using the key pair and the ec2-user username. The initial SQL Server SA password is stored on the instance. Use the following command to reveal it: sudo cat /var/opt/mssql/secrets/password
- Change the SA password immediately after first login for security.
- Connect to your SQL Server instance using a client tool like SQL Server Management Studio SSMS or Azure Data Studio. Use the instance IP address, port 1433, and the SA credentials.
- Configure your databases, create new logins, and adjust memory or other server settings as required for your workload.
Important Notes:
- Initial Setup: It is critical to change the default SA password on first use.
- Security Groups: Ensure your security group rules are restrictive, allowing only trusted IPs to access ports 1433 and 22.
- Licensing: This offering typically uses the License Included model. Ensure your instance type and core count align with your licensing needs.
- Backups: Implement a regular backup strategy using SQL Server native tools or integrate with AWS Backup.
- Updates: Regularly update the OS using yum update and SQL Server using Microsoft repositories to apply security patches.
Your enterprise-grade SQL Server on RHEL 8 is now ready for application deployment.
