One workflow, two decisive phases

From “Can we migrate?” to “What should we run?”

RDSTools separates compatibility from capacity planning, creating a clear path from estate discovery to an actionable AWS architecture.

01Discovery

Find blockers before they become project delays.

Scan SQL Server estates, inventory configuration and enabled features, and determine supportability across Amazon RDS, RDS Custom, and Amazon EC2.

Fleet scanningFeature compatibilityMigration-path guidance
02SQL Server Assessment

Match real workload demand to the right AWS target.

Analyze CPU, memory, IOPS, and throughput to recommend instance classes, storage options, and opportunities for optimization or consolidation.

Compatibility first. Right-sizing second.

A complete SQL Server assessment workflow for AWS migration.

Begin with RDS Discovery to establish feature readiness and feasible targets. Then use SSAT to analyze demand and right-size the AWS environment.

Phase 1

RDS Discovery

Assess SQL Server compatibility, inventory configuration and enabled features, and identify the technically feasible AWS migration path.

  • Version, edition, HA, and feature inventory
  • Supportability checks across 24+ SQL Server features
  • RDS, RDS Custom, or EC2 migration guidance
Open RDSDiscoveryWeb PowerShell collector

Phase 2

SQL Server Assessment

Analyze actual workload patterns and turn resource utilization into tailored AWS compute, storage, and sizing recommendations.

  • CPU, memory, IOPS, throughput, and workload peaks
  • RDS and EC2 instance and storage recommendations
  • Cost optimization and consolidation analysis
