AWS DMS Fleet Advisor
Accelerate database and analytics migration planning by automating inventory and receiving tailored migration advice
AWS DMS Fleet Advisor is a free, fully managed capability of AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). It automates migration planning and helps you migrate database and analytics fleets to the cloud at scale with minimal effort. To accelerate migrations, AWS DMS Fleet Advisor automatically inventories and assesses your on-premises database and analytics server fleet and identifies potential migration paths. Fleet Advisor can also gather performance metrics and usage patterns of self-managed databases and combines this information with database license and feature information to recommend potential database engine and instance options for migration to AWS. DMS helps you confidently migrate your databases and analytics systems to AWS with virtually no downtime.
AWS DMS Fleet Advisor discovers and analyzes the same source databases supported in AWS DMS, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and more. DMS Fleet Advisor delivers results in a few hours, instead of weeks or even months, without using third-party tools or hiring migration experts.
