Is database migration cloud, desktop or both?

0

The Amazon DMS documentation talks about downloading the Windows or Linux based migration tool. But there is also an online cloud based DMS thing "migration projects", which supposedly you setup and do database migration. It seems like there are two options for doing it, on the desktop and in the cloud... however the documentation doesn't cover the cloud based one, and for me at least it fails with no discernable error message. So unsure how to proceed.

The AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is a managed service (cloud) that allows you to migrate your on-premise or RDS database to an Amazon database. It doesn't require drivers or configuration changes in your database.

There are a couple of step-by-step instructions available on how to migrate an Amazon database. You can walk through these to get a better sense of how to use DMS to migrate your database to an Amazon database.

Hope this helps,

    But that's what I'm saying, the step by step guide for Oracle to Postgres is for desktop version. I've set up the conversion in the cloud under "AWS DMS migration projects" rather than the desktop product, but it fails with no error message. But there's no apparent guide for using the product in the cloud. It wants access to an S3 bucket for some reason, I don't know if it expects me to put something there or what, it is opaque.
