Explanation

Migrating a Commercial Database to AWS Open-Source

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) handles the actual data movement, continuously replicating records from your source database (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server) to a target Amazon-managed open-source database (e.g., Aurora PostgreSQL, MySQL). AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) complements DMS by converting the database schema, stored procedures, and code objects from the proprietary format to the open-source equivalent before migration begins - together, they cover both structure and data.

The distractors fall short because:

• SDKs (B) are programming toolkits for building applications, not migration utilities
• Systems Manager (D) manages infrastructure and operational tasks, not database migrations
• Amazon EMR (E) is a big data/analytics platform (Hadoop, Spark), unrelated to relational database migrations

Memory Tip: Think of the migration as a two-step move - SCT = "Pack the boxes" (convert the schema/structure) and DMS = "Drive the truck" (move the actual data). You need both tools to complete a full commercial-to-open-source database migration successfully.
