The connection details you need to provide can differ depending on what destination
connectivity you use. This page describes how to create destination connection profiles
for each available connectivity method:
Before you create a destination connection profile, make sure you do the following:
Consider in which region you want to create the destination connection profile.
Database Migration Service is a fully-regional product, meaning all entities
related to your migration (source and destination connection profiles,
migration jobs, destination databases, conversion workspaces) must be
saved in a single region.
Destination database connections are always encrypted by Database Migration Service.
You don't need to configure additional certificates for those connections.
On the Create a connection profile page, from the Profile role
list, select Destination.
From the Database engine list, select
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.
In the Define connection settings section, provide
the connection profile name, identifier, and region.
In the Connection details section, do the following:
From the Cluster ID drop-down menu, select your AlloyDB for PostgreSQL
destination cluster identifier.
Use the Hostname and IP field to enter one of the following
values:
For psc-enabled clusters: Use the
DNS name configured for your cluster.
If your cluster only has a private IP configured,
the Hostname and IP field is automatically populated with
the required DNS name. If your cluster has both the public and private
IP addresses assigned, click the Hostname and IP field
and select the DNS record from the menu.
For non-psc-enabled clusters: Enter the private IP assigned
for your destination cluster.
In the remaining fields, enter the port number and the login details
for the dedicated migration user account (name and password).
In the Define connectivity method section, do the following:
From the Connectivity method drop-down menu, select
Private IP.
