DB Best and Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help you improve performance and reduce costs by migrating your on-premises databases to managed Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), to virtual machines using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), or database warehousing solutions such as Amazon Redshift. The AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) helps accelerate the database adoption process by converting the schema of your source databases to your choice of databases.
