Migrating database to AWS

If you struggle to maintain your relational databases at scale, move to a managed database service, like Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora. In most cases, you can migrate workloads and applications to a managed service without needing to rearchitect your application and can continue to leverage the same DB skill sets.

You want to access the following questions when making a move from self-managed to managed relational DBs:

Is self-managing DBs on-premises, in EC2, and/or in another public cloud.
I would like to reduce the DB admin burden and reallocate DBA resources to app-centric work.
Does not want to rearchitect their application. Wants to continue leveraging the same skill sets.
Does need a simple path to a managed service in the cloud for DB workloads.
Wants better performance, availability, scalability, and security
