| Fact | Amazon Database Migration Service | Google Cloud Migration Center |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2006 | 1998 |
| Purpose | AWS DMS migrates relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other data stores to AWS or between cloud and on-premises setups. | Google Cloud Migration Center is a unified platform for moving from on-premises or other cloud environments to Google Cloud. |
| Security | AWS DMS requires TLS 1.2 for API clients and recommends TLS 1.3; it also supports resource-based access policies and AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoints. | Discovery client communication to Google Cloud is authenticated with a service account and encrypted using SSL/TLS; collected PII, SPII, and secrets are encrypted at rest with AES128_GCM and Windows DPAPI. |
AWS DMS suits teams migrating or modernizing databases and analytics workloads to AWS, including teams moving from self-managed databases to managed AWS databases. It is less suited to on-premises-to-on-premises replication.
Migration Center suits organizations assessing servers, databases, costs, and dependencies before moving workloads to Google Cloud. It is relevant to teams planning rehosting, replatforming, or refactoring.
