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.
