- Quickly and securely migrate databases to AWS
- It is resilient and self healing
- The source database remains available during migration
- Supports:
- Homogeneous migrations, example Oracle to Oracle
- Heterogeneous migrations, example: Microsoft SQL Server to Aurora
- Supports continuous data replication using CDC
- We must create an EC2 instance to perform the replication tasks
- Sources:
- On-premise and EC2 instance databases: Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SAP, DB2
- Azure SQL Database
- Amazon RDS: all including Aurora
- Amazon S3
- Targets:
- On-premise and EC2 instance databases: Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, AP
- Amazon RDS
- Redshift
- DynamoDB
- S3
- ElasticSearch
- Kinesis Data Streams
- DocumentDB
- Converts a database schema form one engine to another. Example: OLTP (SQL Server, Oracle) to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aurora; OLAP (Teradata or Oracle) to Redshift
- We do not need to use SCT if we are migration from the same DB engine to the same DB engine
