Cloud-Based Data Migration on Amazon Web Services

 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the most comprehensive cloud platform in the world. There are over 175 fully-featured data centers globally and millions of customers ranging from large enterprises to small centers, all looking to become more agile, innovate faster, and lower costs.

It is for these reasons that businesses are today opting for AWS data migration from on-premises databases and systems. There are various types of cloud migration of which the most common is transferring data and applications from a local on-premises database to a public cloud. Another is moving databases and applications from one cloud platform to another known as a cloud to cloud migration. Finally, there is the reverse migration which is rare but involves moving data and applications away from the cloud to on-premises.


There are several benefits of AWS data migration. The main reason is to ensure greater data management flexibility, access to a pay-per-use model, and data redundancy. Another advantage is that AWS provides separate computing and storage facilities where users can scale up or down in data usage, paying only for the quantum of resources used.

The cloud offers high-performing capabilities too. Even when multiple users execute simultaneous intricate queries on multiple workloads, there is no lag or drop in speed. With AWS data migration, users get access to almost unlimited storage and computing infrastructure. Even when new projects have to be launched, there is no need by organizations to invest in additional hardware and software and the work can be started immediately.

Before migrating to the cloud, it is necessary to choose the ideal applications that are most suitable for cloud migration in order to set in motion the ideal cloud environment.

AWS Support to Migration of Databases to S3

Image
  In July 2019, Amazon Web Service Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) announced the launch of a service that would support the migration of data from any source in AWS Apache Parquet data format to S3. The data migrating feature AWS DMS CDC S3   is available in the 3.1.3 version of DMS. S3 is generally used to support DMS while creating data lakes. This data can be used with a wide range of AWS such as Amazon Redshift Spectrum, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Athena. It has been a long-standing demand by users which has now been accepted by AWS with the launch of AWS DMS CDC to S3 . Why do businesses migrate data from AWS DMS CDC to S3? There are several benefits to it. It provides cutting-edge data security, data availability, performance, and scalability which means that organizations can use the S3 for storing and protecting unlimited volumes of data in the cloud. This includes databases with mobile applications, enterprise applications, websites, protection to unlimited volumes...

Make Amazon Redshift as AWS DMS Target Database

Image
  Amazon Redshift database is a data warehouse solution based in the cloud. With Amazon Database Migration Service, you can migrate data from supported databases keeping Redshift as the target. However, it is essential to ensure that the AWS account and the AWS region form a part of the same Redshift cluster. The first step in DMS REDSHIFT database migration is to move data to an Amazon S3 bucket with AWS DMS. Once the files are located in the S3 bucket, the Amazon S3 automatically transfers the intended tables to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The S3 bucket, as pointed out previously has to be in the same AWS Region as the Amazon Redshift database. However, when AWS CLI or DMS API is used for DMS Redshift migration, an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) path have to be set up to get access to S3. Amazon Redshift provides automated processes in the following cases. ยท         Modifications made at source tables by incremental dat...

Features and Functions of Software for Data Replication

Image
  Data replication is the activity where several copies of the same data sets are made and stored in different locations, thereby allowing easy data accessibility across the network. The replicated data can be stored on-site or off-site, in the same system or cloud-based locations. Data replication is so critical that major database technologies such as Microsoft SQL or Oracle database have in-built systems for this activity. Data replication takes place in two ways. One is asynchronous that carries out replication when the Commit statement is issued to the database. The other is synchronous replication where any change that is made to the data at source will be automatically replicated to the data at target. One of the most optimized methods to carry through this process is to use a very effective data replication software . The advantage of the software is that it helps to quickly create a replica of the database at source to a location that is completely independent of the s...
