Step-by-Step Walkthroughs for Oracle Database Migration

We’ll show you how to move your Oracle Database to Amazon Aurora MySQL. This is done using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). You’ll be able to switch your data to AWS seamlessly. This uses the powerful Amazon Aurora MySQL.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

  1. Launching RDS Instances: Start by launching Amazon RDS instances. These will be the source and target for your migration.
  2. Installing Required Tools: You need to install AWS DMS on your system. Make sure you have all the tools and dependencies you need.
  3. Testing Connectivity: Connect your Oracle Database to Amazon Aurora MySQL. Do this by setting up the right network settings.
  4. Converting Oracle Schema to Aurora MySQL: Use AWS DMS Schema Conversion to change the Oracle schema to Aurora MySQL format easily.
  5. Creating an AWS DMS Replication Instance: Make an AWS DMS replication instance. This will link your source and target databases.
  6. Running the Migration Task: Set up and run the migration task with AWS DMS. Make sure your data stays correct and consistent.

By using these instructions, you can move your Oracle Database to Amazon Aurora MySQL confidently. AWS helps you take your database to the cloud with its scalability, performance, and management. Explore the full potential of your database with AWS.

Step-by-Step Walkthroughs for Microsoft SQL Server Migration

We will show you how to move your Microsoft SQL Server database to AWS. We will use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). This guide will help you transfer your SQL Server database to AWS without hassle.

1. Launching RDS Instances

The migration starts with launching Amazon RDS instances. You will choose the right instance type, set up storage and security, and pick the database engine.

2. Testing Connectivity

After setting up RDS instances, test the connection between your SQL Server database and AWS. This step makes sure your migration goes smoothly.

3. Converting the SQL Server Schema

Now, you need to change the SQL Server schema for AWS, like Aurora MySQL or Aurora PostgreSQL. This is key for keeping your data accurate during the move.

4. Setting Up an AWS DMS Replication Instance

With the schema changed, set up an AWS DMS replication instance. It connects your SQL Server database to AWS, making data transfer possible.

5. Running the Migration Task

It’s time to start the migration with AWS DMS. Set up the source and target, choose replication options, and begin transferring data. AWS DMS will do the migration safely and quickly, keeping downtime and data loss low.

Follow this guide to move your SQL Server database to AWS with AWS DMS. Enjoy the cloud’s many advantages for handling your data.

Step-by-Step Walkthroughs for MySQL Database Migration

This section teaches you how to move MySQL databases to AWS. It works for MySQL-compatible and existing MySQL databases. You’ll learn to migrate to Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL. It also includes steps for moving a MariaDB database.

For a smooth migration, follow this guide using AWS DMS Schema Conversion. It helps convert your database effortlessly. Just follow the steps to migrate your MySQL databases to AWS.

  1. Set up the necessary resources: Start by setting up AWS services like Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL. Have the needed resources ready for migration.
  2. Test connectivity: Before moving any data, check the connection between your MySQL database and AWS. This ensures data moves smoothly.
  3. Migrate a MySQL-compatible database: If your database is MySQL-compatible, use AWS DMS Schema Conversion for conversion. Choose between Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL as your target.
  4. Migrate an existing MySQL database: Already have a MySQL database? Follow the steps to migrate it to Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL directly.
  5. Migrate a MariaDB database: To move a MariaDB database, follow the same process. It can go smoothly to Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL.

Follow these steps to migrate MySQL databases to AWS easily. This allows you to use the features of Amazon RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL. AWS DMS Schema Conversion makes converting MySQL-compatible databases simple, making migration easier.
