Amazon Migration & Transfer Flashcards
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
o Allows you to migrate on-prem DB’s
to the cloud and also use DMS to
migrate DB’s that are inside AWS clouds
to other regions or things like redshift
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
o Does the same as DMS but instead of
targeting DB’s it targets VMware virtual
machines
o If you have VMware virtual machines
running on-prem you can use SMS to
replicate these virtual machines up to
the AWS cloud, can do 50 concurrently
AWS Snowball
o Enables the movement of terabytes of
data into the cloud
o Briefcase size appliance traditionally
consisting of just storage
- Connect hardware, load terabytes and send to AWS
o Snowball edge: recently added
compute capacity to functionality
