Modernize your legacy databases with AWS data lakes, Part 1: Migrate SQL Server using AWS DMS

This is a three-part series in which we discuss the end-to-end process of building a data lake from a legacy SQL Server database. In this post, we show you how to build data pipelines to replicate data from Microsoft SQL Server to a data lake in HAQM S3 using AWS DMS. You can extend the solution presented in this post to other database engines like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle.

Configure cross-account HAQM S3 as a source or target for AWS DMS

In this post, we delve into the intricacies of configuring AWS DMS replication instances to use an S3 bucket in a different account. We also explore the process of establishing a connection between AWS DMS Serverless and S3 buckets across distinct accounts.

Migrate HAQM RDS for Oracle BLOB column data to HAQM S3

In this post, we demonstrate an architecture pattern in which we migrate BLOB column data from HAQM RDS for Oracle tables to HAQM S3. This solution allows you to choose the specific columns and rows containing BLOB data that you want to migrate to HAQM S3. It uses HAQM S3 integration, which enables you to copy data between an RDS for Oracle instance and HAQM S3 using SQL.

Turn petabytes of relational database records into a cost-efficient audit trail using HAQM Athena, AWS DMS, HAQM RDS, and HAQM S3

In this post, we show how you can use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate relational data from HAQM RDS into compressed archives on HAQM S3. We discuss partitioning strategies for the resulting archive objects and how to use S3 Object Lock to protect the archive objects from modification. Lastly, we demonstrate how to query the archive objects using SQL syntax through Athena with seconds latency, even on large datasets.

Use AWS DMS to migrate data from IBM Db2 DPF to an AWS target

AWS has introduced a new feature in AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) that simplifies the migration of data from IBM Db2 databases with the Database Partitioning Feature (DPF) databases to HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3), a highly scalable and durable object storage service. With this new capability, you can now migrate your data from IBM Db2 DPF databases to HAQM S3, paving the way for building robust data lakes in the cloud. This new feature streamlines the migration process, provides data integrity, and minimizes the risk of data loss or corruption, even when dealing with large volumes of data distributed across multiple partitions and databases of varying sizes. In this post, we delve into the intricacies of this new AWS DMS feature and demonstrate how to implement it. We explore best practices for orchestrating data flows and optimizing the migration process, achieving a smooth transition from on-premises IBM Db2 DPF databases to a cloud-based data lake on HAQM S3.

Troubleshoot and minimize AWS DMS replication latency with HAQM S3 as a target

Building data sources on HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) can provide substantial benefits for analysis pipelines because it allows you to access multiple large data sources, optimize the curation of new ingestion pipelines, build artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models, providing customised experiences for customers and consumers alike. In this post, we […]

Run Polygon nodes on AWS

In this post, we dive deep into establishing your infrastructure and deploying Polygon blockchain nodes on AWS. We provide recommendations for selecting optimal compute and storage options tailored to various use cases. We discuss the approach to speed up the horizontal scaling of Polygon full nodes on AWS with HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) […]

Introducing the HAQM Timestream UNLOAD statement: Export time-series data for additional insights

HAQM Timestream is a fully managed, scalable, and serverless time series database service that makes it easy to store and analyze trillions of events per day. Customers across a broad range of industry verticals have adopted Timestream to derive real-time insights, monitor critical business applications, and analyze millions of real-time events across websites and applications. […]

Cross-account HAQM RDS for Oracle migration using HAQM RDS snapshots and AWS DMS for minimal downtime

In scenarios such as consolidating or merging multiple departments with separate AWS accounts into a single AWS account, splitting a single account or divisions into multiple AWS accounts for better management, or duplicating an AWS account across Regions, you often need to migrate the database from one AWS account to another with minimal downtime and […]

Use the DBMS_CLOUD package in HAQM RDS Custom for Oracle for direct HAQM S3 integration

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the DBMS_CLOUD package to transfer files between S3 buckets and directories in an RDS Custom for Oracle database. We also show how you can access data from HAQM S3 directly using Oracle features such as external tables and hybrid partition tables. The features provided by DBMS_CLOUD could vary between different Oracle releases, so pay close attention to the steps in the post and make sure you reference DBMS_CLOUD in the Oracle Database 19c documentation. To avoid confusion, the option discussed in this post is for RDS Custom for Oracle, not for RDS for Oracle. RDS for Oracle offers S3 integration.
