What is AWS Database Migration Service?

The AWS Database Migration Service allows for rapid and secure transitions of databases into the AWS cloud ecosystem. During the migration, the original database continues to function normally, which greatly minimizes downtime for applications that rely on it. This service is adaptable, supporting data transfers between various well-known commercial and open-source databases. It effectively manages both homogeneous migrations, like transferring data from one Oracle database to another, and heterogeneous migrations that involve different database systems, such as moving data from Oracle to Amazon Aurora. Users can migrate data from local databases to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) or Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), shift between databases hosted on EC2 and RDS, or even move data from one RDS instance to another seamlessly. Moreover, it supports data migration across SQL, NoSQL, and text-based storage solutions, ensuring extensive compatibility with different database setups. This adaptability positions it as an outstanding option for organizations aiming to enhance their database infrastructure. Overall, the service streamlines the migration experience, allowing businesses to focus more on their core operations while ensuring data integrity.

    Best Migration Tool

    Date: Dec 23 2020
    Summary

    The replication service is great and the replication operational and analytical data sets to the redshift and aurora database is very easy. Service for migrating the database to the AWS cloud is also available.

    Positive

    Data migration using AWS Data Migration Service is very quick, the mapping between a source and target systems is very easy. The best thing is its ability to scale the replication instance as per requirement.

    Negative

    The speed of data migration slows down when you try migrating BLOBs into 'Full BOLB' mode. Documentation is limited.
