This whitepaper is intended for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers who are migrating data from any supported source database to Amazon Redshift data warehouse using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). AWS DMS helps customers migrate databases to the AWS Cloud quickly and securely by replicating data from any supported source to any supported target. AWS DMS also supports continuous data capture (CDC) functionality, where it replicates data from source to target on an ongoing basis.
A data migration that is not well planned or well tested, whether it is a one-time event or ongoing, may cause issues with respect to AWS DMS source and target latencies, which can potentially delay or stall the migration efforts. This whitepaper presents information about important migration considerations, highlights the best practices to be followed during the migration process, and provides an optimal strategy for a successful database migration to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse.
