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.

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.

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 […]

Customers are actively exploring opportunities to optimize their expenses, aligning with the Cost Optimization pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. In this post, we discuss the following tools that you can use to analyze your spend and optimize your HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) costs.

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) […]

Customers prefer to host their relational database workloads in a managed service such as HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) because of the benefits offered by managed services. Although HAQM RDS offers automatic backups as a native feature, your data retention policies may require longer retention periods than the retention policy supported by HAQM RDS. […]

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. […]

You can use the managed database offerings in the HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) portfolio to remove much of the undifferentiated heavy lifting from day-to-day activities. With HAQM RDS for Oracle, you can significantly reduce the administrative overhead of managing and maintaining an Oracle database. Oracle Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) provides a comprehensive view […]

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 […]

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.
