Most database technologies like Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database have in-built replication features. What then are the benefits of data replication to Snowflake , a cloud-based data warehousing solution? First, Snowflake offers unlimited storage and computing facilities where users can scale up or down in data usage by paying only for the quantum of resources used. Further, Snowflake is a high-performing solution and multiple users can work simultaneously on multiple intricate queries with any lag or drop in speeds.

  Amazon Redshift is a data warehouse solution based on the cloud. With Amazon Web Service Data Migration Service, organizations can transfer data from their data center to the target Amazon Redshift. Before starting the Redshift migrate data to process, it is essential to ensure that both the AWS region and the AWS account are in the same cluster as Redshift. The migration is fully automated but to make it a success, several steps have to be followed. Move data with the Data Migration Service to an Amazon S3 bucket. Once the transfer is completed, Amazon S3 automatically transfers all the intended tables in S3 to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. Even though this Redshift migrate data process is automated human intervention is required when AWS CLI or DMS API is used for the Redshift migration. Here, Access Management Path (IAM) and an AWS Identity has to be established to get access to the S3 bucket. A few basics need to be followed for Redshift migrate data function. ...
