Migrate an on premise Oracle 12c database to AWS RDS 19c using Data Pump, mastering a complete, step by step cloud migration project for DBAs and cloud engineers.

Description

Migrate an on premise Oracle 12c database to AWS RDS 19c using Data Pump export and import, mastering cloud migration step by step with hands on exercises. If you're a DBA or cloud engineer looking to move Oracle workloads to the cloud, this course stood out. It walks you through a complete, real world migration project from start to finish. Instead of just covering theory, you'll actually set up an AWS RDS instance, configure IAM roles and S3 buckets, export your on premise database with Data Pump, transfer the dump files, and handle the import, all while learning the critical differences between running Oracle on premises and on AWS RDS.

This Course Offers

  • A complete, hands on migration project: You'll follow 17 focused lectures that take you from a blank AWS account to a fully migrated and validated Oracle 19c database on RDS.
  • Practical experience with core AWS services: You'll learn to create and configure S3 buckets for storage, IAM roles for secure access, and RDS option and parameter groups for database customization.
  • Mastery of Oracle Data Pump for cloud migration: You'll use expdp and impdp to export your on prem database and import it into RDS, including handling tablespaces and using par files for efficient imports.
  • Step by step validation and troubleshooting: The course doesn't stop at the import. You'll learn to connect to the new instance, verify the data, and compare it with your original on prem database to ensure a successful migration.
