AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) makes homogeneous migrations simpler with built-in native database tooling. Today, in addition to supporting MySQL and PostgreSQL, this feature now supports MariaDB. Built-in native database tooling with homogeneous data migrations provides simple and performant like-to-like migrations with minimal downtime.

Homogeneous data migrations now support MariaDB 10.1 and higher with both full load and ongoing replication options. Supported sources include on-premises, Amazon EC2, or Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for MariaDB databases and supported targets include Amazon RDS for MariaDB. 

This feature is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Singapore).
