Moving a replication task to a different replication instance in AWS DMS
We’re excited to announce a new feature of AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) that allows you to move a replication task from one replication instance to another. With this feature, you can stop a running migration, move the task to an instance with a newer AWS DMS version or different instance type, and resume […]
Setting up Amazon CloudWatch alarms for AWS DMS resources using the AWS CLI
For very large migrations, AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) replication can run for hours or days depending on the data being replicated. It’s advisable to monitor the AWS DMS resources for a smooth migration. Monitoring your resources can help you detect anomalies and trigger notifications based on the threshold metrics configured. You can use […]
Populating your graph in Amazon Neptune from a relational database using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) – Part 4: Putting it all together
In this four-part series, we cover how to translate a relational data model to a graph data model using a small dataset containing airports and the air routes that connect them. Part one discussed the source data model and the motivation for moving to a graph model. Part two explored mapping our relational data model to a labeled property graph model. Part three covered the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model. In this final post, we show how to use AWS DMS to copy data from our relational database to Neptune for both graph data models. You may wish to refer to the first three posts to review the source and target data models.
Populating your graph in Amazon Neptune from a relational database using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) – Part 3: Designing the RDF Model
In this four-part series, we cover how to translate a relational data model to a graph data model using a small dataset containing airports and the air routes that connect them. Part one discussed the source data model and the motivation for moving to a graph model. Part two covered designing the property graph model. In this post, we explore mapping our relational data model to a Resource Description Framework (RDF) model. You may wish to refer to parts one and two of the series to review the model. In part four, we show how to use AWS DMS to copy data from a relational database to Neptune for both graph data models.

Populating your graph in Amazon Neptune from a relational database using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) – Part 1: Setting the stage
In this four-part series, we cover how to translate a relational data model to a graph data model using a small dataset containing airports and the air routes that connect them. Part one discusses the source data model and the motivation for moving to a graph model. We discuss this for the labeled property graph in part two and for the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model in part three. In part four, we show how to use AWS DMS to copy data from a relational database to Neptune for both graph data models.
Effectively migrating LOB data to Amazon S3 from Amazon RDS for Oracle with AWS DMS
In this post, I walk through an effective way to migrate and continuously replicate tables with LOB columns from Amazon RDS for Oracle to Amazon S3 using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). This service helps you migrate on-premises databases to AWS quickly and securely. In this post, we explore its heterogeneous replication feature.
Achieving minimum downtime for major version upgrades in Amazon Aurora for PostgreSQL using AWS DMS
AWS provides two managed PostgreSQL options: Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL. When Amazon RDS or Aurora support a new major version of a database engine, for example, PostgreSQL 10 to 11, you can upgrade your DB instances to the new version. Major version upgrades can contain database changes that may not be […]
Configuring SSL encryption on Oracle and PostgreSQL endpoints in AWS DMS
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) helps you migrate databases to AWS securely. It supports homogeneous and heterogeneous migrations between different database platforms, such as Oracle to Amazon Aurora. AWS DMS supports continuous data replication while maintaining high availability and has been widely adopted for database migrations because it is easy to configure. For more information, […]
Migrating Oracle databases with near-zero downtime using AWS DMS
Do you have critical Oracle OLTP databases in your organization that can’t afford downtime? Do you want to migrate your Oracle databases to AWS with minimal or no downtime? In today’s fast-paced world with 24/7 application and database availability, some of your applications may not be able to afford significant downtime while migrating on-premises databases […]
