Windows Server 2016 AMIs are available in all AWS regions, but the options available may vary from region to region (eg: SQL Server Enterprise that is currently available to only some regions). Additionally, Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS) will support Windows containers by the end of 2016 (click here to receive more information).
