Step 1: Create an instance profile
Before you create an instance profile, configure a subnet group for your instance profile. For more information about creating a subnet group for your AWS DMS migration project, see Creating a subnet group.
You can create an instance profile as described in the following procedure. In this instance profile, you specify network and security settings for your DMS Schema Conversion project.
To create an instance profile
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS DMS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/dms/v2/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Instance profiles, and then choose Create instance profile.
-
For Name, enter a unique name for your instance profile. For example, enter
sc-instance. -
For Network type, choose IPv4 to create an instance profile that supports only IPv4 addressing. To create an instance profile that supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, choose Dual-stack mode.
-
For Virtual private cloud (VPC), choose the VPC that you created in the prerequisites step.
-
For Subnet group, choose the subnet group for your instance profile. To connect to Amazon RDS databases, use a subnet group that includes public subnets. To connect to on-premises databases, use a subnet group that includes private subnets.
-
Choose Create instance profile.
To create a migration project, use this instance profile.
