In this post, we delve into the intricacies of configuring AWS DMS replication instances to use an S3 bucket in a different account. We also explore the process of establishing a connection between AWS DMS Serverless and S3 buckets across distinct accounts.

In this post, we explain how to use RDS Db2 Snapshot and AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to create cross Region replicas for your RDS for Db2 DB instance. If you want to use this replica for read scaling, there needs to be logic built at the application layer to direct only read traffic to the replica.

Oracle Multitenant Architecture uses a container-based architecture specifically designed for the cloud. It enables the Oracle database to function as multitenant container database (CDB) where application databases are created as pluggable databases (PDB) inside the container database (CDB). A PDB is a collection of schemas, schema objects and non-schema objects, and self-contained for an application […]

In this post, we discuss how to migrate a self-managed document database or Amazon DocumentDB database to Amazon DocumentDB using AWS DMS homogeneous migration.

In this post, we discuss how Phreesia used AWS DMS to replicate their on-premises database to AWS in an effective and cost-optimized manner. Because of the database’s large size and complex data structure, properly tuning the AWS DMS configuration was critical to minimize the migration duration and cost. We outline the fine-tuning techniques that were applied to optimize the AWS DMS task settings, instance size, IOPS provisioning, and table mappings. Applying these performance optimizations allowed Phreesia to develop a migration strategy to move this 30 TB database to Amazon S3 in just 2 days without disruption to production workloads.

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.

Databases form a key part of any enterprise and managing databases during an M&A requires careful planning and implementation to ensure a smooth transition and to maintain data integrity. In this post, we highlight some of the key considerations for successful database management during a merger or acquisition spanning from data assessment to integration strategies.

In this post, we explore the steps to configure Oracle RAC as a source for AWS DMS.

AWS DMS provides the capability to validate your data as you migrate from various supported sources to AWS. Data integrity and accuracy is one of key requirements we often hear about from our customers that determines a successful migration project. In this post, we delve deep into AWS DMS data validation feature. We explore its benefits, configurations, and use cases.

In this post, we provide different options for data migration from an SAP ASE on-premises database to SAP ASE on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) based on the size of data, application downtime, and data compliance. The migration methods include using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and SAP ASE native features.
