I created a fresh AlmaLinux 8 VM on virtualbox and I converted it as an ova image that I uploaded into an S3 bucket for the purpose of doing a VM import. The problem is when I do an import via AWS cli, I get the following error after the VM conversion step: ClientError: DHCP client not installed I do know that a DHCP client is installed because I was testing the networking before I exported the image from virtualbox. Also, since AlmaLinux 8 is based on Centos 8 which is supported by AWS I thought the support will follow as well. I'm following this as a guide for doing the import procedure: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html Anyone got this error before and have some tips on how to get it working? Thanks!lg...

I've found blogs on how to migrate an existing elastisearch domain and its existing documents into an aws opensearch domain. But I'm wondering if there is a source for doing the opposite? Is there a general recommended tool for this procedure?lg...

Hi, We have just created a brand new account in Amazon EC2. We have also created a default MS-SQL Server database along with a new EC2 machine. However, when we try to connect to this database via SQL Server Management Studio installed on my local laptop, we are running into errors. These errors are not unique. These are typical errors which come while trying to configure connectivity between Management studio and remote database. We have followed all articles and other information available both at Microsoft Technet as well as AWS, however the error have remained unchanged. Details of the error are given below. I would greatly appreciate it if someone have a look and answer them ASAP. Many many Thanks, Manoj Kumar Error Message 1 - Cannot connect to vibexchange.c3uqqhmm412p.ap-south-1.rds.amazonaws.com.

Hello, I'm trying to migrate an SQL Server database to RDS which uses the SQL Server agent and has a store procedure that selects from the SQL Server Agent Table dbo.sysjobsteps as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-tables/dbo-sysjobsteps-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15. I've tried assigning permissions as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.SQLServer.CommonDBATasks.Agent.html but I keep getting the error: The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysjobsteps', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'. (even with the master user). On the other hand, other tables like dbo.sysjobs do return the expected results. Is this expected and does anyone know a workaround?lg...

Hi All, We are referring the below mentioned native import export backup and transactional replication for on prem to RDS data migration. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/part-3-migrating-to-amazon-rds-for-sql-server-using-transactional-replication-with-native-backup-and-restore/ Here we are creating Transactional replication only (No snapshot), so we want to know how it will impact on Prod database CPU utilization. Consider before transactional replication CPU utilization is 50% in prod, and now consider if we setup transactional replication then how will it impact on cpu utilization.lg...

Hi All, I used Application Migration Service to migrate one of our On-Premise VM machines to AWS Ec2, and I choose one of our existing key pairs on the template migration server.
