This!
Not sure if Workspaces with their compute/bundle options could work as well they have a lot more power these days

I haven't run a Workspace for ages. I set some up for a group of QAs we had working on a project but haven't used them in maybe 5+ years? (at least pre-covid).
IIRC the Workspaces weren't that cheap though - if you're remotely technical I think servers would be better value. Workspaces are good when you have a temporary team needing similar desktops.
hippy
Yeah, so the cost of the instance + software license is built in. The pay as you use cost includes the lic. cost for the product.
So, we could buy an instance and install our own version of SQL on it, or we could pay more for an instance type with SQL bundled on it already or we could use their SQL as a service RDS product.
You might need to look at specifics for your product but that's generally how it works.
