How Do I Start To Retire My Tech Debt ?


Options to Retire Technical Debt

• Legacy Windows Workloads

• Storage

• Dev and Test

• Licensing options

• SQL Server consolidation

early modernization.

On Premise Cost for 3 years: $ 13 M

AWS Cost for 3 year: $ 3.7 M. (Reserved)

Licensing: What Do You Really Need to Know?*

*AWS has Microsoft licensing specialists to help you.

AWS provides images

Legacy versions supported

Amazon manages the licensing

and compliance

License Included

Requires active Software

Assurance

Includes SQL Server, Remote

Desktop Services, Exchange,

SharePoint

Does not include Windows Server,

Windows Desktop and Microsoft

Office

Requires a verification process

with Microsoft

Customers import and use their

own software

License Mobility

Includes Dedicated Host and

Dedicated Instances

Software Assurance/license

mobility not required

Windows Server can be deployed

on a Dedicated Host

MSDN eligible for Dedicated Host

or Dedicated Instance

Customer is responsible for

compliance with Microsoft

Customers import and use own

their software

BYOL (Bring your

own license)


Mixed Licensing Model is a Win-Win situation

• Use BYOL for core (slowly varying) infrastructureLarge potential savings by reusing licenses

&

• Use License Included for varying infrastructureTake advantage of AWS Auto Scaling

Less management overhead, pay-as-you-go


License Mobility

License Mobility through Software Assurance

allows existing on premises licenses to be moved

to AWS without additional fees.

03Leverage the Software Assurance section of the

Microsoft Product Terms

As such you:

Complete a license verification process02

Must maintain active Software Assurance01


License optimization for BYOL

Optimize CPUs

• Specify active cores and Hyper-Threading status when launching new EC2 instances

Benefits:• Specify a custom number of vCPUs when launching new instances to save on vCPU based

licensing costs.

• Disable Hyper-Threading Technology for workloads that perform well with single-threaded CPUs,

like high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

What we hear from our partners


Migrate Early

• Don’t let legacy Software prevent a Cloud Migration

• Re-platform workload where available but don’t let it slow the

migration

• Re-hosting workloads enable rapid re-platforming/re-factoring

post migration


Leverage Platform to Re-Host/Re-Platform

• Use On-Demand services to test upgrade scenarios

• Easier to test technical upgrades in the cloud

• AWS Database Migration Service/Server Migration Service


Save on Operating and Management Costs

• Don’t over procure licensing and leverage on-demand

• Employ RDS where suitable to reduce operational overhead

• Use Management Tools such as AWS Systems Manager.
