Migrating from PostgreSQL to Amazon RDS

In this course, AWS Hero Alex DeBrie demonstrates the step-by-step process of migrating a PostgreSQL database to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Amazon RDS is a fully managed service for running relational databases on AWS. It handles instance failover, data backups, and software updates.

It supports six different database engines, including open-source options such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. You can either watch Alex explain the steps of the migration process or follow along using your own Amazon Web Services (AWS) account or the AWS Free Tier.
