    "Best Migration Tool"

    Posted 2020-12-23

    Pros: Data migration using AWS Data Migration Service is very quick, the mapping between a source and target systems is very easy. The best thing is its ability to scale the replication instance as per requirement.

    Cons: The speed of data migration slows down when you try migrating BLOBs into 'Full BOLB' mode. Documentation is limited.

    Overall: The replication service is great and the replication operational and analytical data sets to the redshift and aurora database is very easy. Service for migrating the database to the AWS cloud is also available.
