The DMS to Redshift target database migration begins with moving data to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) with AWS DMS. After the files are placed in the S3 bucket, the intended tables are transferred automatically to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The S3 bucket and the Redshift database should be in the same AWS region. Where AWS CLI or DMS API is used for DMS Redshift  migration, it is necessary to setup an AWS Identity and Access Management Path (IAM) to get access to S3.

The solution of AWS DMS SQL Server to S3 appliesto SQL Server database of any size or scale and keeps the database accessible to the application during migration. Again, the solution is also optimized for validating the target database during data replication from source to target. This saves considerable time during validation. However, this solution can only be used when there are no limitations on using SQL Server as a source for AWS DMS. There are certain pointers to be follo
