Which AWS service should be used to migrate a company’s on-premises MySQL database to Amazon RDS?
AWS Direct Connect
AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS)
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT)
Explanations:
AWS Direct Connect is a network service that provides a dedicated connection from on-premises to AWS. It is not a migration service for databases.
AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) is designed for migrating virtual servers to AWS, primarily focusing on EC2 instances, not specifically for databases.
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is specifically designed for migrating databases to AWS, including MySQL to Amazon RDS. It supports continuous replication and minimal downtime.
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) helps convert database schemas but does not perform the actual migration of data. It is a complementary tool, not a standalone migration service.
