HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for SQL Server now supports TDE enabled database migrations using Native Backup/Restore for Microsoft SQL Server. Previously, you would need to disable TDE on your on-premises TDE enabled SQL Server database in order to migrate to HAQM RDS.
Now you can migrate the backup files of your on-premises database without disabling TDE. You will be able to take a backup of your existing TDE certificate, store it in HAQM S3, and restore it to an existing HAQM RDS instance with the TDE option enabled. From there, you can follow the existing procedures to export a full backup of your on-premises TDE enabled database, store it in HAQM S3, and restore that backup to your HAQM RDS instance directly using the custom stored procedures offered by HAQM RDS. This feature is available for HAQM RDS for SQL Server Single-AZ instances. Learn more by visiting the documentation pages.
HAQM RDS for SQL Server makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale SQL Server deployments in the cloud. See HAQM RDS for SQL Server Pricing for pricing details and regional availability.
