The following options describes the ways to move the on-premises Oracle Database dump files to an AWS source technology stack during a migration:

  • Move Oracle Database dump files to Amazon EFS.

Prerequisites

  • An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with permissions to access the on-premises data source and the target data source (for more information, see the AWS documentation)

  • AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) configured by using the IAM role, with connectivity between the on-premises database and the AWS environment

  • An S3 bucket that can access the on-premises data source (for Amazon S3 security guidelines, see the AWS documentation)

  • An IAM role for Amazon S3 integration with Amazon RDS (for more information, see the AWS documentation)

  • Amazon EFS

  • A source Oracle Database server

  • An Amazon RDS for Oracle instance

  • An EC2 instance

  • A database link with validated connectivity from the on-premises data source to the Amazon EC2 or Amazon RDS for Oracle instance
