AWS Database Migration Service is a service that offers data migration from different database sources to a number of targets within the AWS ecosystem. You can even use AWS DMS to migrate data from your on-premises database to the AWS Cloud.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll learn to migrate your existing MongoDB collections to AWS DocumentDB using AWS DMS service. You’ll use a React application to insert data into your MongoDB and use it as a source database. Then, you’ll create a DocumentDB cluster and access it using the Cloud9 environment. You’ll create a DMS replication instance, source and target endpoints, and then configure a replication task. You’ll also see how the change data capture (CDC) works in DMS.
After completing this Cloud Lab, you’ll have enough knowledge and understanding to start working with AWS DMS and create replication tasks for your database migrations. The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure that you’ll create in this Cloud Lab:
