Learn about the new AWS Database Migration Service, which helps you migrate databases with minimal downtime from on-premises and Amazon EC2 environments to Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Aurora and EC2 databases. We discuss homogeneous (e.g. Oracle-to-Oracle, PostgreSQL-to-PostgreSQL, etc.) and heterogeneous (e.g. Oracle to Aurora, SQL Server to MariaDB) database migrations. We also talk about the new AWS Schema Conversion Tool that saves you development time when migrating your Oracle and SQL Server database schemas, including PL/SQL and T-SQL procedural code, to their MySQL, MariaDB and Aurora equivalents.

Q&A

3. Embrace the cloud, embrace a cloud data strategy
How will my on-premises data be migrated to the cloud?
How can I make it transparent to my users?
Afterwards, how will on-premises and cloud data interact?
How can I integrate my data assets in AWS?
Can I get help moving off of commercial databases?

4. Historically, migration = cost, time
Commercial data migration and replication software
Complex to set up and manage
Legacy schema objects, PL/SQL or T-SQL code
Application downtime
