Applicability

Splunk Cloud Splunk Enterprise Splunk Universal Forwarder 9.1.1 (Windows)

Description

There are many editions available in Windows. One can check the compatibility between Splunk UF and the associated operating systems (OS) using the document :- System requirements for windows

Upon having a look at the Splunk document mentioned, it does not mention if it is compatible with Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition on AWS or not.

The edition names has not been described in the document.

Resolution

As the 9.1.1 UF supports Windows Server 2012 Standard and 2012 R2, the editions should not change its compatibility and it would support Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition.

There should not be an issue due to the edition, as with Windows Server 2012, the Datacenter and Standard editions are feature-identical, varying only based on licensing. The Essentials edition has the same features as the Datacenter and Standard products, with some restrictions.
