New Database Migration Service with Schema
Conversion Tool makes it easy for customers to migrate production
databases to AWS with almost no downtime
MariaDB now available as a managed service on
AWS with up to 6TB of storage, 30,000 IOPS, and support for
high-availability
Today at AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an
Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN), announced new database tools and
services that make it easier for enterprises to bring their
production databases to AWS and break free from the cost and
complexity of traditional commercial databases. The new, fully
managed AWS Database Migration Service allows customers to migrate
their production Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL
databases to AWS with virtually no downtime. And, the AWS Schema
Conversion Tool makes it easy for these customers to switch
database engines. AWS also announced that its relational database
service (Amazon RDS) will support its sixth database engine, the
popular MySQL-compatible open-source database MariaDB. Finally, AWS
shared that its new database engine Amazon Aurora, announced at the
2014 AWS re:Invent, has become the fastest-growing service in the
history of AWS. To learn more about AWS Database Migration Service
and Amazon RDS for MariaDB, visit

“With more than a hundred thousand active customers, and six
database engines from which to choose, Amazon RDS has become the
new normal for running relational databases in the cloud,” said Hal
Berenson, Vice President, Relational Database Services, AWS. “The
launch of Amazon Aurora has enabled customers to get the
performance of commercial-grade databases at the price of open
source engines. And, this has only amplified our customers’ pleas
to help them migrate their on-premises databases to Amazon Aurora
and other Amazon RDS engines. With the AWS Database Migration
Service, and its associated Schema Conversion Tool, customers can
choose either to move the same database engine from on-premises to
AWS, or change from one of the proprietary engines they’re running
on-premises to one of the several open source engines available in
Amazon RDS.”
AWS Database Migration Service preview starts today
The AWS Database Migration Service makes it easy for customers
to migrate database engines they're using on-premises to run on
AWS, or to migrate from proprietary engines running on-premises to
open source engines running in AWS. The service is very cost
effective. For instance, using the AWS Database Migration Service
customers can migrate a 1TB database from on-premises to AWS for as
little as $3. Setting up migration is easy and typically takes less
than ten minutes. The AWS Database Migration Service handles all of
the tasks involved in moving data and completing the migration. The
AWS Database Migration service can be used to perform one-time
migrations, or can maintain continuous replication between
databases without a customer having to install or configure any
complex software. The AWS Database Migration Service monitors the
progress of replication and migration, notifies customers of any
network or host failures, and automatically provisions a host
replacement in the event of a failure. Customers pay a simple
hourly fee for the compute resources they use for migrating their
database. The AWS Schema Conversion Tool, a feature of the
migration service, ports database schemas and stored procedures
from one database platform to another, so customers can move their
applications from Oracle and SQL Server to Amazon Aurora, MySQL,
MariaDB, and soon PostgreSQL.
Amazon RDS now supports MariaDB
With support for six database engines, Amazon RDS allows
customers to run familiar relational databases at a substantially
lower cost without the operational complexity of on-premises
systems. Starting today, Amazon RDS supports MariaDB as a fully
managed service, which means customers can deploy a MariaDB
database with a few clicks in the AWS Management Console and Amazon
RDS handles all of the administrative tasks involved in managing a
database, including software installation, storage management,
replication for high-availability, and back-ups for disaster
recovery.
With Amazon RDS’s Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS) capability, MariaDB
databases can scale to 6TB and 30,000 IOPS per database instance
while maintaining fast and consistent performance. Customers can
deploy production MariaDB applications using the Multi-Availability
Zone (MAZ) deployment option. Amazon RDS will operate a synchronous
stand-by replica with an automated fail-over mechanism. Amazon RDS
for MariaDB also supports cross-region snapshot copy operations,
allowing customers to keep a back-up copy in a different region for
disaster recovery purposes. Customers can operate MariaDB databases
in a logically isolated virtual network fully configured and
controlled with strict firewall policies using Amazon Virtual
Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
Amazon Aurora now the fastest-growing service in AWS
history
Thousands of companies, including Expedia, Alfresco, Earth
Networks, ISCS, Nasdaq, PG&E, WeTransfer, the Washington Post,
and Zumba are among the many customers rapidly adopting Amazon
Aurora. Since its release into general availability in July 2015,
Amazon Aurora has become the fastest-growing service in the history
of AWS.
