RDS Custom for SQL Server
You can deploy RDS Custom for SQL Server by using either an RDS provided engine version (RPEV) or a custom engine version (CEV):
-
If you use an RPEV, it includes the default Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and SQL Server installation. If you customize or modify the operating system (OS), your changes might not persist during patching, snapshot restore, or automatic recovery.
-
If you use a CEV, you choose your own AMI with either pre-installed Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Server that you install using your own media. When using an AWS provided CEV, you choose the latest Amazon EC2 image (AMI) available by AWS, which has the cumulative update (CU) supported by RDS Custom for SQL Server. With a CEV, you can customize both the OS and SQL Server configuration to meet your enterprise needs.
The following AWS Regions and DB engine versions are available for RDS Custom for SQL Server. The engine version support depends on whether you're using RDS Custom for SQL Server with an RPEV, AWS provided CEV, or customer-provided CEV.
