Azure Database Migration Services
Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) is Microsoft’s fully managed, cloud‑based service designed to simplify and accelerate the migration of databases to Azure with minimal downtime. It handles the movement of data, schema, and server‑level objects from SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB into Azure platforms like Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, SQL Server on Azure VMs, and Azure Cosmos DB.
DMS integrates seamlessly with Azure Data Studio’s Azure SQL Migration extension, Azure Migrate, and PowerShell automations providing organizations with a guided, reliable, and scalable modernization pathway.

What’s so special about Azure Database Migration Service

  • Fully managed migration service with near‑zero downtime: Azure DMS automates the end‑to‑end migration process and supports online migrations to minimize application interruptions.
  • Multi‑database engine support: Migrate SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB workloads from on‑premises or other clouds directly to Azure.
  • Powered by Azure SQL Migration extension: The latest DMS experience integrates tightly with Azure Data Studio, offering assessments, SKU recommendations, and guided migration workflows.
  • Discovery and assessment through Azure Migrate: DMS works with Azure Migrate to discover your data estate, analyze readiness, and recommend the most optimal Azure target.
  • Highly resilient and self‑healing migration engine: DMS ensures reliability throughout the migration process with built‑in resiliency and fault recovery.
  • Supports migration of server‑level objects: Move logins, SQL Agent jobs, SSIS packages, and other server‑level components in addition to database schemas and data.
  • Modern DMS experience for Azure SQL migrations: The current DMS experience, available through Azure Data Studio, Azure Migrate, and the Azure Portal provides a unified, streamlined migration workflow aligned with Microsoft’s latest tools and best practices
