Select your DMS Target

Now that you have completed setting up the Getting Started and picking your source database, you are ready to migrate a sample data base.

This step-by-step guide demonstrates how you can use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to convert schema and migrate data to Amazon Aurora (MySQL/PostgreSQL). Additionally, you will use AWS DMS to continually replicate database changes from the source database to the target database.

The environment for this lab consists of:

  • A data source like SQL Server or Oracle.

  • An EC2 instance with Schema Conversion Tool and other database gui tools, as the source database.

  • An Amazon Aurora/RDS instance used as the target database.

  • An S3 Bucket if you choose S3 as your target
