About this tag
The windows workloads tag covers enterprise discussions about running and modernizing Windows-dependent services across AWS and Azure. Topics include AWS Managed Microsoft AD, its Hybrid Edition, resource forest considerations, and directory-aware services such as Amazon RDS for SQL Server, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and Amazon WorkSpaces. The tag also follows Azure Service Bus compatibility and migration concerns, including Windows applications that still use the retiring SBMP protocol, legacy SDK support, AMQP continuity, and migration to Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus ahead of Microsoft’s September 30, 2026 deadline. These posts focus on managed directory services, application dependencies, operational risk, and planned platform changes.
