Supportability on AWS
Microsoft workloads are supported on AWS. Amazon Web Services fully supports
Microsoft Windows Server as both infrastructure and a platform. Our customers have
successfully deployed in the AWS cloud virtually every Microsoft application
available, including Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, Dynamics, and Remote
Desktop Services.
If you have support related issues you should contact AWS Support.

Windows Server 2003 and SQL 2005
• End of extended support
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Server 2003 R2
• SQL 2005
• If XP is a guide, a large number of organizations will
not be ready…

What does “End of Extended Support” mean?
No more patches and updates without a custom support agreement
• Vulnerabilities in web servers running IIS on Windows Server 2003 will no longer be patched
• Vulnerabilities in other internet-facing services (e.g. DNS) no longer patched
• Services and applications hosted on Windows Server 2003, even if supported, become more vulnerable
Customers can still get support, but it will be expensive
