AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion now supports offline source conversion for Microsoft SQL Server, enabling you to convert SQL Server schemas and code without direct connectivity to your source databases. You extract metadata using standard database commands in your own environment, then upload it to DMS Schema Conversion for processing. This eliminates security reviews, firewall changes, and VPN setup that delay migration projects, while delivering the same conversion results as the connected approach. Offline Source is ideal for organizations with security policies that
