Reply To: Timed Mode Diagnostic Test – Question 4 further explanation

Hi Johara,

Thanks for the feedback.

My guess is ‘save on operational overhead costs’ implies that using managed MySQL over managed SQL Server would have notable cost savings.

>> Yes, the migration to RDS is to satisfy the requirement for lesser operational overhead and lesser cost as there is no licensing fee associated with MySQL compared to MS SQL.

Additionally, the question states “heterogeneous database migration strategy to AWS”, this also implies that they want to change the database solution during the migration. Thus, a combination of SCT (to convert the database) and DMS (to migrate the database) is used as a solution.

Hope this helps.
