AWS DMS

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is a highly resilient, secure cloud service that provides database discovery, schema conversion, and data migration to and from a wide range of databases and analytics systems.

Why DMS?

DMS implements a comprehensive security framework that safeguards data throughout the migration process using IAM policies, SSL/TLS encryption, and AWS Secrets Manager credential management. Network controls and monitoring tools provide access restriction and real-time visibility. To minimize operational disruption to applications, DMS keeps source systems fully operational until the migration is complete. DMS enhances resilience through Multi-AZ redundancy and checkpoint-based recovery capabilities. Zero data loss and data accuracy are maintained through a data validation processes, while data re-synchronization resolves any discrepancies between databases. DMS offers cost-effective migrations through hourly pricing and serverless scaling that reduces unused capacity to a minimum.
