High-level architecture overview

Copy and mask PII between Amazon RDS databases using visual ETL jobs in AWS Glue Studio

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to copy data from one Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL database to another, while scrubbing PII along the way using AWS Glue. You will learn how to prepare a multi-account environment to access the databases from AWS Glue, and how to model an ETL data flow that automatically masks PII as part of the transfer process, so that no sensitive information will be copied to the target database in its original form.
