AWS DMS Schema Conversion introduces Virtual Mode

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion now supports Virtual Mode for Data providers, enabling you to perform schema assessment and conversion without connecting to target database instances. This feature helps you begin conversion planning immediately while reducing infrastructure costs.

Virtual Mode enables you to evaluate database compatibility, review and convert schema code, generate assessment reports, and plan resource requirements. All of this happens before provisioning actual database infrastructure. When you are ready for migration, you can switch from virtual to real Data providers seamlessly. Virtual Mode works with all AWS DMS Schema Conversion-supported target databases, including Amazon RDS and Aurora PostgreSQL, MySQL, Amazon RDS for Db2, and Amazon Redshift.

Virtual Mode is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DMS Schema Conversion is supported, at no additional charge. To learn more visit the Virtual Data provider page.
