Targets for data migration - AWS Database Migration Service

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) can use many of the most popular databases as a target for data replication. The target can be on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instance, or an on-premises database.

For a comprehensive list of valid targets, see Targets for AWS DMS.

Note

AWS DMS doesn't support migration across AWS Regions for the following target endpoint types:

  • Amazon DynamoDB

  • Amazon OpenSearch Service

  • Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless is available as a target for AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). For more information see Using a PostgreSQL database as a target for AWS Database Migration Service.
