Migrating a database

In this recipe, we will use Database Migration Service (DMS) to move an external database into Relational Database Service (RDS).

Unlike many of the other recipes, this will be performed manually through the web console.

Most database migrations are one-off, and there are many steps involved. We suggest that you first perform the process manually via the console before automating it, if required (which you can do with the AWS CLI tool or SDKs).
