AWS DMS runs replication software while you tell it where to pull data from and where to upload it. You’ll then be able to schedule a task on the server, so it continues migrating your information.

Data migration is a key tool of any migration project, including the mainframe. AWS DMS just got one step further in getting easier / more efficient to use by becoming serverless.

“DMS Fleet Advisor automatically builds an inventory of your on-prem database and analytics service by streaming data from on prem to Amazon S3. From there, we take it over.

AWS cloud services, tools and new products in 2023 include Amazon Bedrock for AI, security lake, DMS serverless, Aurora, IoT and EC2 instances.

AWS DMS Fleet Advisor will no longer accept new customers beginning May 20, 2025. AWS is recommending that customers migrate their database assessment projects to AWS Migration Evaluator.
