This pattern describes the steps for migrating an Oracle database on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle by using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). The pattern also uses Oracle SQL Developer or SQL *Plus to connect to your Oracle DB instance, and includes an AWS CloudFormation template that automates some of the tasks.
Migrating to Amazon RDS for Oracle enables you to focus on your business and applications while Amazon RDS takes care of database administration tasks such as provisioning databases, backup and recovery, security patches, version upgrades, and storage management.
