In this post, we show you how to build a multi-Region Kerberos authentication system that matches your Aurora Global Database’s resilience using AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) with multi-Region replication and a one-way forest trust to your on-premises Active Directory, so your Linux clients can authenticate without joining the AD domain.

This post demonstrates how to implement SSL encryption for in-transit data protection when connecting Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) as a source to AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). Additionally, it covers the unique steps required to configure SSL for Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) instances.

In this post, we provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for migrating an on-premises self-managed encrypted MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL using AWS DMS homogeneous data migrations over a private network. We show a complete end-to-end example of setting up and executing an AWS DMS homogeneous migration, consolidating all necessary configuration steps and best practices.

For encrypting data at rest, Amazon RDS for Oracle offers two choices: AWS KMS and Oracle TDE. Although both AWS KMS and Oracle TDE provide encryption at rest capabilities, there are various factors to consider when choosing between them, such as licensing, edition dependency, encryption granularity, and feature restrictions. In this post, we provide guidance on choosing between the AWS KMS and Oracle TDE options for encrypting data at rest in RDS for Oracle, focusing on these key aspects.

In this post, we show you how to migrate an Oracle database to an Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instance. The solution uses Oracle Data Pump for initial data load and Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture installed on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance as the Oracle GoldenGate hub for change data capture.

Homogeneous data migrations in AWS DMS simplify the migration of on-premises databases to their Amazon RDS equivalents. In this post, we guide you through the steps of performing a homogeneous migration from an on-premises MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL using AWS DMS homogeneous data migrations over a private network using network load balancer.
