Benefits of AWS Database Migration Service

Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service is one of the most optimized methods to migrate databases from an on-premises platform to the Cloud. Organizations can undertake both homogeneous migration like Oracle to Amazon RDS for Oracle or MySQL to Amazon Aurora and heterogeneous migration like Oracle to PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL migrations.

A critical function of AWS data migration is continuous consolidation and replication of databases into petabyte-sized databases through data streaming to Amazon Redshift and Amazon S3.


Benefits of using AWS data migration

There are several benefits of using AWS DMS for database migration.

•During migration, there is no need to shut down systems as all changes to data at the source database are replicated to the target database in real-time.
•The migration process does not require installation of additional drivers and applications as it is started with just a few clicks on the AWS Management Console.
•Migration is smooth and seamless as AWS data migration supports the most popular commercial lyrun databases.
•Once the AWS DMS configuration is done, deployment, monitoring, and management of systems required for migration is done automatically. 
•Up-front costs and maintenance charges are not levied,as for AWS data migration, charges are only to the extent of resources used for migration.
•Complete migration infrastructure is managed by AWS DMS including the hardware and the software, error reporting, and software patching.
•A critical feature of AWS data migration is automatic failover. If an outage occurs during migration in the primary system, a backup server automatically takes over. When the outage is resolved, the primary server is updated and the migration carries on as scheduled.
These are some of the benefits of AWS data migration.

The ETL Tool and AWS Database Migration Service

Image
 Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service – AWS DMS – is a service that is based in the cloud. It helps in the smooth and seamless migration of relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other types of data stores.With AWS DMS, databases can be migrated between one cloud provider to another, on-premises to the cloud, or the reverse too. The most-used and popular method for DMS is the use of the AWS DMS ETL tool. It makes sure that all the ongoing changes and the incremental data are replicated from the source to the target databases. But for this to happen, it has to be ensured that both are always in sync. However, when the two database engines are different and the data types, the data codes, and schema structures are not the same, the AWS Conversion Tool has to be used for transforming the database schema to the new platform. The main advantage of the AWS DMS ETL is that the database migration has all the optimized benefits and features of the cloud like flexi

Why do Organizations use AWS DMS for Migrating Databases?

Image
 AWS DMS (Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service) is a cloud-based platform that enables easy migration of relational databases, NoSQL databases, data warehouses, and other types of data stores. The AWS DMS option is used to migrate data into the AWS Cloud, between on-premises databases (via AWS Cloud setup), or between any combination of cloud and on-premises databases. AWS DMS performs one-time migrations with the capability to replicate ongoing changes to keep the source and the target database in sync. If database engines have to be changed the AWS Schema Conversion Tool is used to transform database schema to the new platform after which the AWS DMS option is initiated to migrate data. Being part of the cloud, AWS DMS offers the same speed to market, cost-efficiency, security, and flexibility of AWS services. At the primary level, AWS DMS is a server in the AWS Cloud that operates the replication software. A source and a target link have to be created so that the AWS DMS o
