Migrating from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB - Database Migration Guide

Migrating from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB

Use the following tutorial to guide you through the process of migrating from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). In this tutorial, you do the following:

  • Install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance.

  • Populate MongoDB with sample data.

  • Create an AWS DMS replication instance, a source endpoint (for MongoDB), and a target endpoint (for Amazon DocumentDB).

  • Run an AWS DMS task to migrate the data from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Important

Before you begin, make sure to launch an Amazon DocumentDB cluster in your default virtual private cloud (VPC). For more information, see Getting started in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.
