Migration and assessment tools on AWS

Along with the Oracle E-Business Suite specific tools mentioned previously, you can also make use of various other AWS services to migrate files and objects from on premises to AWS.

  • Migration Evaluator – Can be used for application discovery, building a business case, and right-sizing environments on AWS.

  • AWS Snowball Edge – Can be used to move terabytes of data in about a week on AWS. You can use it to move digital assets such as databases, backups and media content. Example for a very large database would be to take an RMAN full backup a number of weeks in advance (to allow time for shipping to AWS) and then restore the standby and apply the redologs in AWS – keeping the database in sync with on premises.

  • AWS DataSync – Can be used to move large amounts of data online between on-premises storage and Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, or Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

  • AWS Storage Gateway – Can be used for implementing hybrid cloud storage use cases such as moving backups to the cloud, or using on-premises file shares backed by cloud storage.

  • AWS Direct Connect – Can be used to establish a dedicated network connection from on premises to AWS.
