The Reasons for Migration of Data from Amazon Web Service

    

Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service helps to migrate databases securely to AWS. During the migration, the database at source remains fully functional, without the need for stoppage of work or downtime. AWS DMS can migrate data from the common and most-used currently operational commercial and open-source databases.

Here are some of the benefits of data migration to AWS.

·        Easy to use: For data migration to AWS, there is no need to either install any drivers or applications or make changes to the source database in most cases. A few clicks on the AWS Management Console are enough to get the database migration started. The migration process is fully automated with the DMS managing the entire activity by replicating data changes occurring in the source database. 

 

 

·        Nominal downtime: AWS DMS migrates databases to AWS with virtually no downtime or stoppage of work. Any changes to the data in the source database that occur during the migration are continuously replicated to the target. This allows the source database to be fully operational during migration. The target database can be kept synchronized with the source database for as long as necessary after migration.

·        Supports commonly used databases: Data migration to AWS can be done from most widely-used commercial and open-source databases. It supports homogeneous migrations like Oracle to Oracle and heterogeneous migrations between platforms like Oracle to Amazon Aurora. Migrations occur between on-premises databases to Amazon RDS or Amazon EC2, Aurora as well as databases running on EC2 to RDS or vice versa. Datamigration to AWS can also move data between SQL, NoSQL, and text-based data.

These are some of the benefits of data migration to AWS.

The Significance of ETL Tool for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Image
 Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud-based computing platform from Amazon which is offered as a pay-as-you-go service. AWS is very popular and widely used around the world because of its increased storage option, instant server availability, and ability to handle large workloads. Some of the AWS services are Redshift, Simple Storage Service, Elastic Compute Cloud, and Relational Database Service. Before going into the significance of the ETL tool for AWS , it is necessary to understand what is ETL. Short for Extract, Transform, Load, it is a data integration process that collates data from multiple systems into a central database or a data warehouse.Data is extracted from a data source, transformed into a format that meets the specific needs of an organization, and finally, loaded into a data warehouse or any other data repository. An optimized ETL tool for AWS should have these features – smooth installing and integration, easy management and monitoring, real-time streaming, and stri

Key Benefits of Amazon Web Service DMS

What are the key benefits of AWS data migration? •Negligible downtime: One of the critical benefits of AWS data migration is that the database at source from where the data is being migrated remains fully functional and operational during the migration. There is no need for stopping work. It is especially beneficial for large data-dependent organizations.  •User-friendly: It is not necessary to install drivers or make changes to the source database when moving data through AWS data migration as the service runs the process directly from the AWS Management Console. Database migration is automated as DMS straightaway replicates the data at the source.  •Cost-effective: Organizations have to pay only for the volume of storage and computing resources used during migration and without any fixed charges. Hence, AWS data migration service is a very cost-effective tool. •Reliability: The source and the target databases are monitored closely during loading by the Data Migration Service. Thu
