Migrating On-premises MySQL Using a Continuous Database Migration Service Job

This self-paced lab in the Google Cloud console guides you through migrating an on-premises MySQL database to Cloud SQL for MySQL using a continuous Database Migration Service job. You'll set up VPC peering for connectivity and verify the successful migration of your database to the Cloud SQL instance. The course covers creating a profile for a source connection, configuring connectivity between source and destination instances, and running a one-time migration job using Database Migration Service.

• Create a profile for a source connection to a cloud-based MySQL instance (e.g. Amazon RDS for MySQL).
• Configure connectivity between source and destination instances using an IP allowlist.
• Create and run a one-time migration job using Database Migration Service.
• Verify that the migration job has completed successfully.

Explore how continuous migration jobs continue to apply data updates from your source database to your Cloud SQL instance until you choose to complete the job. To conclude the migration job, you promote the Cloud SQL instance to be a new standalone database for reading and writing data. Complete this Guided Project in under 2 hours.
