Database Migration-2: Migrating MySQL Database to Amazon RDS by using AWS Database Migration Services (AWS DMS).

We will migrate a MySQL Database of a real web application to Amazon RDS by using AWS DMS. To do this, firstly, we will create a new “RDS MySQL Database” for the target Database. Then, we will create a replication instance, target and source endpoints, and a migration task. When we run the migration task, we will migrate the MySQL database to the Amazon RDS MySQL Database that we have just created. Finally, we will monitor our database migration by using MySQL Workbench, AWS DMS, and Amazon Cloudwatch logs. We will do all the subjects practically (Hands-on) and step by step.
