Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this pre-configured SQL Server 2019 Standard machine image running on Windows Server 2019. Pricing is not tiered by features. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and your hourly software rate follows the instance you launch. Options span many instance families, including general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, accelerated, and high-memory machines. Rates scale with the size of the instance you pick, from small shared-capacity types up to large multi-core and bare-metal options. You choose the instance that matches your workload, and you are billed only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit maps to one running EC2 instance of the type you select. The rate bundles the SQL Server 2019 Standard software and Windows Server 2019 image running on that instance. You launch one instance and pay the matching hourly software rate for every hour it runs.
The software rate meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay separate AWS fees for storage attached to the stopped instance. To halt software charges, stop or terminate the instance.
The software rate follows the instance type you launch. Moving to a larger family or size applies that dimension's hourly rate for as long as you run it. The change is not automatic; you pick the instance, and billing tracks that selection.

Usage instructions
Below is a step-by-step process on using SQL Server with Windows on AWS.
1. Getting Started with Windows on AWS
You can learn more about Windows usage on AWS through this AWS Windows page . This page contains resources on deploying Windows-based EC2 instances, licensing options, and using Microsoft services on AWS.
2. Logging in as Administrator
To log in to your AWS Windows instance as an Administrator, follow these steps:
- Go to the AWS Support Knowledge Center to retrieve the Administrator password.
- Use the private key (.pem) file you generated when you created your EC2 instance to decrypt the Administrator password.
- After obtaining the password, you can use it to log in to your Windows instance through Remote Desktop (RDP).
3. SQL Server and sa Account
By default, the sa (System Administrator) account in SQL Server is disabled for security reasons. You can log in using the local Windows Administrator account to manage SQL Server:
- Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) from the Start Menu:
- Navigate to Microsoft SQL Server Tools 18 Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- In SSMS, log in with the Windows Authentication method using the local Windows Administrator credentials.
- To enable the sa account:
- In SQL Server Management Studio, go to Object Explorer --> expand your SQL Server instance --> Security --> Logins.
- Right-click on the sa account --> Properties.
- On the General tab, uncheck the Disabled box, and set a strong password.
- Alternatively, you can create a new SQL Server login:
- Right-click on Logins --> New Login.
- Specify a username, password, and authentication method.
4. Launch SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- To open SSMS, go to the Start Menu and search for Microsoft SQL Server Tools 18 --> Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- Once opened, you can connect to your SQL Server instance using either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication
