A business is evaluating whether to migrate their existing applications to AWS. The applications depend extensively on a proprietary database that currently operates under an enterprise-wide, perpetual license agreement. The CTO is concerned about the licensing implications of running the proprietary database software in the cloud. To optimize licensing costs in the cloud, which strategy should the CTO consider?
Ignore licensing for the cloud migration as the existing enterprise agreement covers all environments
Purchase new, on-demand licenses from the cloud provider for the proprietary database software
Adopt a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model to utilize their existing perpetual license in the cloud
Transition to a completely different open-source database to eliminate licensing costs
