- The only difference between Standard and Datacenter is the licensing, otherwise both are identical bits and bytes wise.
Datacenter in Server 2019 the only difference to standard is regarding to the virtualization rights. With one Datacenter license you are allowed to install one Hyper-V Host and run an unlimited number of virtual machines on it (Datacenter or Standard). In the older days there where more differences in terms of how many CPU's the OS supports and what the maximum RAM supported is, but with Server 2019 it all got the same (64 CPU's and 24TB of RAM): -us/windows-server/get-started-19/editions-comparison-19
I see and field this particular question quite frequently. A misunderstanding of licensing terminology and a lot of tribal knowledge has created an image of an artificial limitation with standard edition. The two editions have licensing differences. Their Hyper-V related functional differences:
The previous paragraph refers to functional limits. The misstatement that got us here sources from licensing limits. Licenses are legal things. You give money to Microsoft, they allow you to run their product. For this discussion, their operating system products concern us. The licenses in question allow us to run instances of Windows Server. Each distinct, active Windows kernel requires sufficient licensing.
If you need to run three or more virtual instances of Windows Server, then you buy more licenses for the host. Each time you satisfy the licensing requirements, you have the legal right to run another two Windows Server Standard instances. Due to the per-core licensing model introduced with Windows Server 2016, the minimums vary based on the total number of cores in a system. See the previously-linked eBook for more information.
If you need to run Linux or BSD instances, then you run them (some distributions do have paid licensing requirements; the distribution manufacturer makes the rules). Linux and BSD instances do not count against the Windows Server instances in any way. If you need to run instances of desktop Windows, then you need one Windows license per instance at the very least. I do not like to discuss licensing desktop Windows as it has complications and nuances. Definitely consult a licensing expert about those situations. In any case, the two virtualized instances granted by a Windows Server Standard license can only apply to Windows Server Standard.
Mostly, people choose Datacenter Edition for the features. If you need Storage Spaces Direct, then only Datacenter Edition can help you. However, Datacenter Edition allows for an unlimited number of running Windows Server instances. If you run enough on a single host, then the cost for Windows Server Standard eventually meets or exceeds the cost of Datacenter Edition. The exact point depends on the discounts you qualify for. You can expect to break even somewhere around ten to twelve virtual instances.
Both Standard and Datacenter Edition can participate as full members in a failover cluster. Each physical host must have sufficient licenses to operate the maximum number of virtual machines it might ever run simultaneously. Consult with your license reseller for more information.
Hi,
If i have a physical Hyper V server with 2012 R2 Standard Edition as operating system, Can i have different Server Edition as Guest VM, like Datacenter edition? Or can i only use standard edition as server guest VM?
Amazon RDS supports several versions and editions of Microsoft SQL Server. The following table shows the most recent supported minor version of each major version. For the full list of supported versions, editions, and RDS engine versions, see Microsoft SQL Server versions on Amazon RDS.
For information about licensing for SQL Server, see Licensing Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon RDS. For information about SQL Serverbuilds, see this Microsoft support article about Where to find information about the latest SQL Server builds.
With Amazon RDS, you can create DB instances and DB snapshots, point-in-time restores, andautomated or manual backups. DB instances running SQL Server can be used inside a VPC. Youcan also use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to connect to a DB instance running SQL Server, and you can use transparent data encryption (TDE) toencrypt data at rest. Amazon RDS currently supports Multi-AZ deployments for SQL Server using SQLServer Database Mirroring (DBM) or Always On Availability Groups (AGs) as a high-availability, failover solution.
To deliver a managed service experience, Amazon RDS does not provide shell access to DBinstances, and it restricts access to certain system procedures and tables that requireadvanced privileges. Amazon RDS supports access to databases on a DB instance using any standardSQL client application such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Amazon RDS does not allowdirect host access to a DB instance via Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), or Windows RemoteDesktop Connection. When you create a DB instance, the master user is assigned to thedb_owner role for all user databases on that instance, and has alldatabase-level permissions except for those that are used for backups. Amazon RDS manages backupsfor you.
A production DB instance should use Multi-AZ deployments. Multi-AZdeployments provide increased availability, data durability, and faulttolerance for DB instances. Multi-AZ deployments for SQL Server areimplemented using SQL Server's native DBM or AGs technology.
If your AWS account has a default VPC, then your DB instance isautomatically created inside the default VPC. If your account does nothave a default VPC, and you want the DB instance in a VPC, you mustcreate the VPC and subnet groups before you create the DB instance.
By default, DB instances are created with a firewall that preventsaccess to them. You therefore must create a security group with thecorrect IP addresses and network configuration to access the DBinstance.
The following table shows the maximum number of supported databases for eachinstance class type and availability mode. Use this table to help you decide ifyou can move from one instance class type to another, or from one availabilitymode to another. If your source DB instance has more databases than the targetinstance class type or availability mode can support, modifying the DB instancefails. You can see the status of your request in the Eventspane.
For example, let's say that your DB instance runs on a db.*.16xlarge with Single-AZ and thatit has 76 databases. You modify the DB instance to upgrade to using Multi-AZAlways On AGs. This upgrade fails, because your DB instance contains moredatabases than your target configuration can support. If you upgrade yourinstance class type to db.*.24xlarge instead, the modification succeeds.
SQL Server Standard Edition uses only a subset of the available processors if the DB instance has more processors than the software limits (24 cores, 4 sockets, and 128GB RAM). Examples of this are the db.m5.24xlarge and db.r5.24xlarge instance classes.
If you have a scenario that requires a larger amount of storage, you can usesharding across multiple DB instances to get around the limit. This approachrequires data-dependent routing logic in applications that connect to thesharded system. You can use an existing sharding framework, or you can writecustom code to enable sharding. If you use an existing framework, the frameworkcan't install any components on the same server as the DB instance.
To use these features, we recommend that you install SQL Server on an Amazon EC2 instance, oruse an on-premises SQL Server instance. In these cases, the EC2 or SQL Serverinstance acts as the Master Data Services server for your SQL Server DB instanceon Amazon RDS. You can install SQL Server on an Amazon EC2 instance with Amazon EBS storage,pursuant to Microsoft licensing policies.
Because of limitations in Microsoft SQL Server, restoring to a point in time beforesuccessfully running DROP DATABASE might not reflect the state ofthat database at that point in time. For example, the dropped database istypically restored to its state up to 5 minutes before the DROPDATABASE command was issued. This type of restore means that youcan't restore the transactions made during those few minutes on your droppeddatabase. To work around this, you can reissue the DROP DATABASEcommand after the restore operation is completed. Dropping a database removesthe transaction logs for that database.
The computation and memory capacity of a DB instance is determined by its DB instanceclass. The DB instance class you need depends on your processing power and memoryrequirements. For more information, see DB instance classes.
Not all DB instance classes are available on all supported SQL Server minor versions. For example, some newer DB instance classes such as db.r6i aren't available on older minor versions. You can use the describe-orderable-db-instance-options AWS CLI command to find out which DB instance classes are available for your SQL Server edition and version.
The Microsoft SQL Server database engine uses role-based security. The master user name that you specify when you create a DB instance is a SQL Server Authentication login that is a member of the processadmin, public, and setupadmin fixed server roles.
Any user who creates a database is assigned to the db_owner role for that database and has all database-level permissions except for those that are used for backups. Amazon RDS manages backups for you.
AWS Services in scope have been fully assessed by a third-party auditor and result in a certification, attestation of compliance, or Authority to Operate (ATO). For more information, see AWS services in scope by compliance program.
You can use Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server databases to build HIPAA-compliant applications.You can store healthcare-related information, including protected health information(PHI), under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with AWS. For more information,see HIPAA compliance.
