Next steps and resources

For more information about migrating your relational databases to the AWS Cloud, see the following strategy on the AWS Prescriptive Guidance website:

• Migration strategy for relational databases

You can explore database migration patterns for step-by-step instructions regarding your specific relational databases running in the AWS Cloud, including tasks related to monitoring, migration, and data management.

Use the filters on that page to find patterns by AWS service (for example, migrations to Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora), by workload (for example, open-source, which includes MySQL and MariaDB databases), or by planned use (production or pilot).
