AWS CDK for provisioning AWS DMS

To Nha Notes | April 26, 2022, 10:01 a.m.

Deploying and configuring AWS Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) across multiple environments involves several configurations, testing, and provisioning of AWS DMS resources. This can be time-consuming and error-prone due to the large number of settings involved.

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) lets you define your cloud infrastructure as code in one of five (as of this writing) supported programming languages. It is intended for moderately to highly experienced AWS users.

In this post, we describe an AWS CDK based approach that uses a higher-level AWS CDK construct to set up AWS DMS resources. The AWS CDK construct provisions AWS DMS components such as replication tasks, replication instances, database endpoints, and replication task settings in a consistent and generic way across your environments.
