Announcing AWS DMS Serverless comprehensive premigration assessments

AWS Database Migration Service Serverless (AWS DMS Serverless) now supports premigration assessments for replications . A premigration assessment evaluates the source and target databases of a database migration task to help identify problems that might prevent a migration from running as expected. By identifying and fixing these issues before a migration starts, you can avoid delays in completing the database migration.

The premigration assessments will obtain detailed information about the source schema and tables to provide recommendations on the AWS DMS settings that should be used. For example, the assessment can suggest which method of reading redo logs for change data capture (CDC) should be used or it could check if the recommended settings have been enabled, providing best practice recommendations from AWS DMS experts.

AWS DMS Serverless premigration assessments are available in all AWS Regions where DMS Serverless is available. For AWS DMS Serverless regional availability, please refer to the AWS Region Table.
