Using an Amazon DocumentDB database as a target for homogeneous data migrations in AWS DMS

You can use an Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) database and DocumentDB Elastic cluster as a migration target for homogeneous data migrations in AWS DMS.

To run homogeneous data migrations for an Amazon DocumentDB target, you can create either a user account with administrator privileges, or a user with read/write permissions only on the database to migrate.

Homogeneous data migrations supports all of the BSON data types that Amazon DocumentDB supports. For a list of these data types, see Data Types in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.

To use shard features of DocumentDB Elastic cluster for migrating non-sharded collection from the source, create a shard collection to migrate prior to starting the data migration task. For more information about shard collection in an Amazon DocumentDB Elastic cluster, see Step 5: Shard your collection in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.

For an Amazon DocumentDB target, AWS DMS supports the none or require SSL modes.
