Creating instance profiles for AWS Database Migration Service

You can create multiple instance profiles in the AWS DMS console. Make sure that you select an instance profile to use for each migration project that you create in AWS DMS.

  5. For Network type, choose Dual-stack mode to create an instance profile that supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. Keep the default option to create an instance profile that supports only IPv4 addressing.

  6. Next, choose Virtual private cloud (VPC) to run your instance of the selected network type. Then choose a Subnet group and VPC security groups 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. Make sure that you configured your network so that AWS DMS can access your source on-premises database using the NAT gateway's public IP address.
