Overview
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) offers an efficient and streamlined migration experience to businesses that are looking forward to modernizing their databases on the cloud. The service offers greater flexibility and scalability, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the risk of human error by automating tasks such as schema conversion, data replication and continuous data synchronization.
AWS DMS supports data migration from relational databases, data warehouses and other types of data repositories. It is a serverless service that can deploy, manage and monitor all hardware required for migration, allowing enterprises to eliminate administrative responsibilities like capacity planning, hardware and software acquisition and system installation. DMS supports both homogeneous and heterogeneous database migrations like Oracle to Amazon RDS for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL and more.
