How it works
Migration tools, programs, and partners
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
With more than 350,000 database migrations to date, AWS DMS enables customers to quickly and securely migrate their databases to AWS.
Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
Make heterogeneous database migrations predictable by automatically converting the source database schema and a majority of the database code objects.
Database Freedom Program
Free your teams from the time-consuming and undifferentiated heavy lifting of database administration so they can spend more time on value-added and application-centric work.
Database Migration Accelerator (DMA)
DMA brings together migration experts, mechanisms, and tools to provide a one-stop shop to convert applications running commercial databases to run on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL or MySQL, or Amazon Aurora.
Common migration use cases
Oracle and SQL Server to Amazon Aurora
Migrate your commercial engines to Amazon Aurora; a fully managed, MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible relational database built for the cloud, which combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Aurora is up to five times faster than standard MySQL databases and three times faster than standard PostgreSQL databases. It provides the security, availability, and reliability of commercial-grade databases at 1/10th the cost.
Oracle and SQL Server to Amazon RDS
Move your self-managed relational databases to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Amazon RDS is a managed relational database service with six popular database engines to choose from including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB as well as Amazon Aurora. RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud with just a few clicks. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups.
Cassandra to Amazon DynamoDB
Migrate your self-managed Cassandra tables to a serverless Amazon DynamoDB which offers a fully managed, multi-region, multi-master database that provides consistent single-digit millisecond latency, and offers built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching. DynamoDB automatically scales throughput up or down, continuously backs up your data for protection, and gives your globally distributed applications fast access to local data by replicating tables across multiple AWS Regions.
MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
Move your self-managed MongoDB workloads to Amazon DocumentDB, a fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed document database service that supports MongoDB workloads. Amazon DocumentDB is designed from the ground-up to give you the performance, scalability, and availability you need when operating mission-critical MongoDB workloads at scale.
Apache Cassandra to Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)
Self-managing Cassandra tables is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. With Amazon Keyspaces, you can run your Cassandra workloads on AWS using the same Cassandra application code and developer tools that you use today. You don’t have to provision, patch, or manage servers, and you don’t have to install, maintain, or operate software.
Netezza and Teradata to Amazon Redshift
Modernize your data warehouse solution by migrating to Amazon Redshift. Amazon Redshift is a fast, scalable data warehouse that makes it simple and cost-effective to analyze all your data across your data warehouse and data lake. Redshift delivers ten times faster performance than other data warehouses. You can setup and deploy a new data warehouse in minutes, and run queries across petabytes of data in your Redshift data warehouse, and exabytes of data in your data lake built on Amazon S3.
Migration customers
More organizations run their databases and data warehouses on AWS than any other cloud service. Customers like NASDAQ, Verizon, TIBCO, Expedia, US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, Snapchat, and Tinder run their business critical database workloads on AWS.
