Cloud computing is transforming the way businesses store and access data. More businesses are switching from on premise data warehousing to cloud computing. Cloud services such as AWS offer flexible, reliable, and cost-effective options for cloud that allow businesses to give their clients superior user experiences. Migrating to AWS cloud also allows prompt expansion of your infrastructure without worrying about buying and maintaining new hardware. When planning to migrate to AWS cloud, you have access to 3 flexible data migration options. Let’s take a closer look.
1. Self-Service Migration
Self-service migration is a module offered by AWS that includes AWS data migration services (DMS) and Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) that enable you to migrate your data to AWS quickly and securely. You can simply log in to your AWS account and create a replication instance. It is the replication instance that performs actual data migration between your source and target endpoints. The size of the instance depends on the amount of data you want to migrate and tasks involved in the migration process.
