In this post, we show how you can use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate relational data from Amazon RDS into compressed archives on Amazon S3. We discuss partitioning strategies for the resulting archive objects and how to use S3 Object Lock to protect the archive objects from modification. Lastly, we demonstrate how to query the archive objects using SQL syntax through Athena with seconds latency, even on large datasets.

AWS has introduced a new feature in AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) that simplifies the migration of data from IBM Db2 databases with the Database Partitioning Feature (DPF) databases to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), a highly scalable and durable object storage service. With this new capability, you can now migrate your data from IBM Db2 DPF databases to Amazon S3, paving the way for building robust data lakes in the cloud. This new feature streamlines the migration process, provides data integrity, and minimizes the risk of data loss or corruption, even when dealing with large volumes of data distributed across multiple partitions and databases of varying sizes. In this post, we delve into the intricacies of this new AWS DMS feature and demonstrate how to implement it. We explore best practices for orchestrating data flows and optimizing the migration process, achieving a smooth transition from on-premises IBM Db2 DPF databases to a cloud-based data lake on Amazon S3.

Building data sources on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) can provide substantial benefits for analysis pipelines because it allows you to access multiple large data sources, optimize the curation of new ingestion pipelines, build artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models, providing customised experiences for customers and consumers alike. In this post, we […]

In this post, we dive deep into establishing your infrastructure and deploying Polygon blockchain nodes on AWS. We provide recommendations for selecting optimal compute and storage options tailored to various use cases. We discuss the approach to speed up the horizontal scaling of Polygon full nodes on AWS with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) […]

In scenarios such as consolidating or merging multiple departments with separate AWS accounts into a single AWS account, splitting a single account or divisions into multiple AWS accounts for better management, or duplicating an AWS account across Regions, you often need to migrate the database from one AWS account to another with minimal downtime and […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the DBMS_CLOUD package to transfer files between S3 buckets and directories in an RDS Custom for Oracle database. We also show how you can access data from Amazon S3 directly using Oracle features such as external tables and hybrid partition tables. The features provided by DBMS_CLOUD could vary between different Oracle releases, so pay close attention to the steps in the post and make sure you reference DBMS_CLOUD in the Oracle Database 19c documentation. To avoid confusion, the option discussed in this post is for RDS Custom for Oracle, not for RDS for Oracle. RDS for Oracle offers S3 integration.

In our previous post, we deployed multi-Region disaster recovery blueprint using Amazon Route 53, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). In this post we walk you through the process of promoting RDS for SQL Server in the AWS secondary Region and performing a cross-Region failover […]

Disaster recovery and high availability planning play a critical role in ensuring the resilience and continuity of business operations. When considering disaster recovery strategies on AWS, there are two primary options: in-Region disaster recovery and cross-Region disaster recovery. The choice between in-Region and cross-Region disaster recovery depends on various factors, including the criticality of the […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have captured global attention as a mechanism for creating one-of-a-kind digital assets that can be instantly verified as authentic, easily exchanged between users, and made infinitely programmable such that NFTs can be used for a variety of use cases and industries. At its core, NFTs are a form of digital asset or […]
