AWS Support to Migration of Databases to S3

 

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 of data, and big data analytics. 

Additionally, S3 offers user-friendly management capabilities, and hence it is possible to configure data to meet specific organizational needs. But by far, the most critical ability of AWS DMS CDC to S3 is the high level of data durability which is an amazing 99.999999999 (11 9’s).

Before starting AWS DMS CDC to S3, several factors need to be considered. The AWS account should have an IAM code with writing and delete access to the target S3 bucket. Also, the target S3 bucket should be in the same AWS Region as the DMS instance for the migration. Finally, check the possibility of linking S3 objects to the target bucket.
