Hi everyone, my name is Sandy Carter!
Today, I run the Windows on EC2 business for AWS.
I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I am an innovator and builder. I am a patent holder. Prior to joining AWS, I ran a startup, developed a Machine Learning MVP, and worked within the Ecosystem of Watson, Cloud, and IoT, helping to build corpus of knowledge for training modules.
Transition: This year marks an important year for us, as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary of running Windows Workloads on AWS
ReInvent 2018

AWS offers flexible cost optimization choices for customers and have options that best fits your needs. We categorize licenses into 3 types..
License-included:
You can buy Windows Server, or Windows Server + SQL Server from AWS with EC2 Instances
Current and legacy versions available from AWS Marketplace or AWS Management Console
License costs included in AWS bill
AWS handles license compliance
Using License Mobility through Software Assurance or dedicated AWS infrastructure, you can save money on existing Microsoft licenses on AWS and derive a number of benefits:
Bring your own licenses:
Can use License Mobility through Software Assurance or Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts
Extend license investments to the cloud and pay only for AWS services you use
You are responsible for license compliance
Using AWS Config as the data source you can track configuration changes against physical resources such as sockets and cores. Before you begin launching BYOL instances onto AWS, ensure AWS Config has been enabled to record any changes. AWS Config keeps track of the changes that occur, including the instances and corresponding AMI IDs that ran. These changes are paired with Host level data, such as the Host ID and the number of sockets and physical cores installed. AWS Config will also keep track of instance tags. We recommend that you tag your instances with a meaningful identifier if you would like a human-readable way to identify BYOL instances in your AWS Config logs. Visit: https://aws.amazon.com/config/ for more information on AWS Config.
