AWS DMS

This week brings a mix of technical guidance and operational incidents affecting AWS infrastructure. New documentation addresses cross-cloud database migration patterns, while Amazon responds to service reliability events with heightened code controls and works to restore facilities in the Middle East.

This week’s coverage centers on cross-cloud database migration workflows, unconventional approaches to testing against production data, and physical security incidents that underscore infrastructure dependencies beyond the control plane. AWS published detailed guidance for migrating Cloud SQL for MySQL to Aurora and RDS, while the community explored database proxy architectures and bidirectional infrastructure-as-code models.
