Accelerate database migration using virtual target mode in AWS DMS Schema Conversion
Database Blog
AWS has introduced virtual target mode in AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion, which enables database migration planning without provisioning target databases. This feature helps organizations streamline migration processes more efficiently.
- Currently supports Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Redshift
- Allows assessment and conversion of database objects before target database is available
- Helps reduce resource allocation and manage migration costs more effectively
- Provides early visibility into migration effort and readiness
Key steps include creating a virtual target data provider, launching a migration project, assessing and converting database objects, and then transitioning to the actual target database when ready. This approach simplifies database migration planning and execution.
