AWS Database Migration Service (replication instance) is a web service that is used to migrate data from your database to a database on an AWS service.

Your database can be one of the following:

  • On-premises
  • An Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instance
  • An Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance

These services can include a database on Amazon RDS or a database on an Amazon EC2 instance. Also, you can:

  • Migrate a database from an AWS service to an on-premises database.
  • Migrate data between heterogeneous or homogeneous database engines.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
