This document summarizes how AWS supports running Windows Server workloads in the cloud. It highlights that AWS for Windows is secure, reliable, high-performance, familiar, cost-effective, extensive, and flexible. It provides examples of customers who saw improved uptime, reduced latency, and cost savings by running Windows applications and databases like SharePoint, Exchange Server, and SQL Server on AWS. It also discusses options for deploying and managing applications using services like Elastic Beanstalk, OpsWorks, and CodePipeline to provide agility for development teams.

Agenda Benefits of running Windows on AWS Foundations Deploying Packaged Applications Databases Custom Applications
Flexible What is AWS for Windows? Secure Reliable High-Performance Familiar Cost-Effective Extensive Optimization for Windows-based workloads Wide range of scalable services Alignment with business needs
AWS for Windows is Secure “Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) gives us a secure environment in the AWS Cloud with the flexibility and scalability we need to manage our SharePoint environment with zero impact to our on- premises datacenter” - Jeremy Fuchs, Vice President of Financial and BI Systems, Lionsgate  Security-in-layers approach  Isolated infrastructure and workloads  Identity and access controls  Tracking and logging  Optimized for regulatory compliance
AWS for Windows is Reliable “Before migrating to AWS, we experienced 10 to 20 hours of downtime a month. With AWS, our downtime is significantly reduced. Our average uptime increased rapidly from 98.8 percent to 99.9 percent without re-architecting applications.” - Augusto Rosa, Server Operations Manager, Shaw Media  99.95% SLA  Multi-region synchronous replication  Uptime and performance monitoring  Low network variability
AWS for Windows is High-Performance “Using AWS, we decreased average network latency from 700 milliseconds to less than 50 milliseconds… Fundamentally, running in AWS enables a 230 percent CPU consumption efficiency in data processing.” - Murari Gopalan, Technology Director, Expedia.com  Enterprise-grade computing on-demand  Automation for both complex and routine tasks  Dedicated, low-latency network connections  Automated Scaling  Monitoring tools with user-defined thresholds
AWS for Windows is Familiar “We didn’t have time to re-design applications. AWS could support our legacy 32-bit applications on Windows Server 2003, a variety of SQL Server and Oracle databases, and a robust Citrix environment.” - Jim McDonald, Lead Architect, Hess Corporation  Windows-based application support  Your own servers  Utilize existing VMs  License as you see fit  Same tools as on-premises environments
AWS for Windows is Cost-Effective “Had we built our SharePoint 2013 farm in our other data center, we would have increased costs by almost 50 percent. When you compare our SharePoint 2012 farm to our SharePoint 2013 farm, AWS allowed us to increase our computing power while also reducing costs by 14 percent.” - Michael Cierkowski, Development Manager, Slalom Consulting  No hardware procurement/deployment costs  Improved hardware utilization  Bring your own licenses  Value-oriented culture  No long-term commitments
AWS for Windows is Extensive “As our company continued to grow, so did our reliance on the AWS cloud and now, we’ve adopted almost all of the features AWS provides. AWS is the easy answer for any Internet business that wants to scale to the next level.” - Nathan Blecharczyk, Co-founder & CTO, Airbnb  More than 40 services available  Broad ecosystem of partners  Third-party application marketplace  Continuous service improvement  Technical certifications for multiple skill levels
AWS for Windows is Flexible “Our infrastructure requirements change rapidly due to the agile nature of our business. Amazon Web Services allowed us to stop worrying about infrastructure and concentrate on our business. Rapid growth was no longer a technical hurdle and we could have our important people focus on more important problems, like making our customers happy.” - Lachlan Donald, CTO, 99Designs  Highly-customizable infrastructure  Variety of instance types  Maintain availability at the lowest cost  Wide variety of storage options
