Google Cloud announced its serverless Database Migration Service (DMS) is available in Preview, enabling customers to migrate MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases to Cloud SQL from on-premises environments or other clouds.
Database Migration Service provides a guided experience to make it easy to create and run migration jobs.
DMS is designed to be reliable and simplifies network connectivity. The serverless offering eliminates the typical need to provision and pay for migration-specific compute resources.
The easy-to-use, guided experience eliminates the need for customers to read through lengthy documentation in order to set up their network.
Customers can take advantage of its native replication capabilities and avoid incompatibilities between source and destination, especially for metadata operations.
"As organizations modernize their infrastructure and advance their digital transformation strategies, migrating mission-critical operational databases that power their business success is crucial," said Andi Gutmans, general manager, and vice president, engineering, databases at Google Cloud. "Database migration is a complex process for most businesses. With Database Migration Service, we're delivering a simplified and highly compatible product experience so that, no matter where our customers are starting from, they have an easy, and secure way to migrate their databases to Cloud SQL."
Cloud SQL is one of the fastest-growing services at Google Cloud, powering mission-critical workloads at some of the largest enterprises across the globe.

For native like-to-like migrations to Cloud SQL, DMS is available at no additional charge.
DMS, now in Preview, supports migrations of self-hosted MySQL databases, either on-premises or in the cloud, as well as managed databases from other clouds, to Cloud SQL for MySQL.
