Database Migration Service

Amazon offers a Database Migration Service (DMS) that can be used to migrate data from one database to another. Often, this is used as part of an on-premises to cloud migration strategy, where you need to migrate database services located in your data center to your AWS account in the cloud. AWS DMS offers support for both homogeneous migrations, such as from MySQL to MySQL or Oracle to Oracle, as well as heterogeneous migrations between engines, such as Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server or Amazon Aurora.

An important point to be aware of is that, while migrating, you can continue to use your source database, which minimizes downtime for your business operations. In addition, you can also use DMS to perform continuous data replication from your on-premises environment to the cloud to offer high availability or disaster recovery capabilities.
