This pattern walks you through the steps for migrating an Oracle database on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance to an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB DB instance. The pattern uses AWS Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) for data migration and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) for schema conversion.
Managing Oracle databases on EC2 instances requires more resources and is more costly than using a database on Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Amazon RDS provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups.
