Harnessing the Power of AWS for Seamless Data Warehouse Migration
In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, the migration of your data warehouse to the cloud is an essential step toward unlocking scalability, agility, and cost efficiency. As we embark on this journey, we’ll examine the powerful tools that AWS offers to streamline and optimize this transition. In this chapter, we’ll explore three key services: the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), as well as the AWS Snow Family. Each of these tools plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless and successful migration of your valuable data assets to the AWS cloud.
We will cover the following recipes:
