| Fact | Amazon Database Migration Service | Google Migrate to Containers |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Migrate to Containers automates extracting applications from servers and VMs so they can run in containers without rewriting or re-architecting the apps. |
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.
Migrate to Containers suits teams moving supported applications from VMware or Compute Engine VMs into containers on Google Cloud. It may fit users who can work with the local CLI and assess workload fit before migrating.
