title: AWS SQL Server Read Replicas - publish from private server
body: <p>Is is possible to use AWS RDS for SQL Server as the destination / target for a read replica?</p>
  
  <p>I have a database that runs on a private MS SQL instance in my data centre and I would like to publish a set of tables to an AWS SQL Server instance so that I can use that instance, and possibly others, to speed up read-only queries.</p>
  
  <p>I know that AWS has restrictions and I wanted to know if the necessary infrastructure exists that would allow me to run a publisher and distributor within my data centre and target an AWS SQL Server database? </p>
