Now privately connect to AWS Database Migration Service from Amazon Virtual Private Cloud

Posted on: Nov 10, 2020

Starting today, you can privately connect your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) without requiring an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection.  

When you create a VPC endpoint for DMS, all traffic between your AWS resources in your VPC and DMS will be kept within the Amazon network. Additionally, you can attach endpoint policies to define DMS actions that can be performed, the Identity and Access Management (IAM) user or role that can perform the actions, and the DMS resources these actions can be performed on.  

To get started, create a VPC endpoint for AWS DMS using the Amazon VPC console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. Once the endpoint is created, you can submit requests to DMS via the endpoint using the AWS CLI or AWS SDK. 

Please refer to the AWS Database Migration Service and AWS Virtual Private Cloud to learn more.
