Hi,
My company wants to purchase SQL Server 2014 licenses outright without software assurance, as the product is not going to be upgraded for a long time if ever at all. They want to move away from the re-occurring monthly fee they pay now.
Is this possible with Amazon cloud?
I heard there are some complexities with cloud providers.
Thanks.

As far as I know, you can set yourself up with an EC2 instance (Windows Server only) and then install whatever you like.

There are a lot of complexities with the cloud providers, but, yeah, they have a model that lets you basically rent storage and cpu space. You provide all licensing from there.
