Migrating data from an external MySQL database to an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster (original) (raw)

If your database supports the InnoDB or MyISAM tablespaces, you have these options for migrating your data to an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster:

You can create a dump of your data using the mysqldump utility, and then import that data into an existing Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. For more information, see Logical migration from MySQL to Amazon Aurora MySQL by using mysqldump.
You can copy the full and incremental backup files from your database to an Amazon S3 bucket, and then restore to an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster from those files. This option can be considerably faster than migrating data usingmysqldump. For more information, seePhysical migration from MySQL by using Percona XtraBackup and Amazon S3.
