AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/migration-database-rehost-tools/considerations.md

Summary

Complete restructuring of page content from technical migration considerations to AWS Prescriptive Guidance portal navigation elements, removing technical content about database migration strategies and replacing it with general website navigation, resource links, and footer content.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve removing technical migration guidance and replacing it with website navigation elements. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or adding security-specific documentation. The references to 'AWS Cloud Security' and 'AWS Trust Center' in navigation links are standard references, not new security documentation additions.

-To address these questions, we need to clarify some definitions. Does the term _database_ describe a server that runs the DBMS software or the logical database entry point? Does it refer to one database out of several on the same server or a cluster of servers? Depending on the context, a database could refer to either option. Database administrators (DBAs) usually consider logical databases, not physical servers. However, in the context of migration, especially large-scale, lift-and-shift migrations, a database usually corresponds to a physical server or a cluster of servers.

-Forming the dependency mapping for migration waves is complicated if there’s no clear one-to-one dependency between the application and the database servers, especially when multiple logical databases from different applications are collocated on the same physical server. Such database systems require a [replatforming](./apg-gloss.html#glossary-7rs) approach that involves a decomposition or consolidation of databases, which complicates large-scale lift-and-shift migration efforts.

-This is where database migration tools (such as native tools from the database engine’s vendors or third parties) can help. These tools work on a logical database level instead of the block-level replication approach of AWS Application Migration Service, and can move the data or databases on a logical level between physical servers and locations.
