There are multiple ways to deploy the databases in the AWS RDS SQL Server. Suppose you want to migrate your on-premises SQL Server database to AWS managed relational database service and you have a critical application and require minimal (almost zero) downtime. For this purpose, you can use the AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) in a combination of SQL Server native backups.

You can use the on-premises SQL Server as a source database; however, for demonstration of the steps, I will use the SQL Server on EC2 instance.

#aws #aws rds #aws dms #sql databases
