Databases

Moving databases to AWS.

Service	Job	Choose when	Key distinction
AWS DMS (Database Migration Service)	Migrate/replicate data	Move a database with minimal downtime	Same or different engine
AWS SCT (Schema Conversion Tool)	Convert schema	Source and target engines differ	Converts schema/code before DMS moves data

• SCT converts the schema; DMS moves the data. Heterogeneous migrations use both.
