Overview
During database migration, the destination AlloyDB for PostgreSQL database needs to connect to the source PostgreSQL database. Database Migration Service provides several ways to configure this connectivity. The connectivity method you choose depends on the type of source database, and whether it resides on-premises, in Google Cloud, or in another cloud provider.
There are three types of connectivity methods that you can configure:
- Reverse SSH tunnel using a cloud-hosted VM: Choose this method if you want to use secure connectivity, and when you don't have a virtual private cloud (VPC) network in Google Cloud from which you can reach the source database.
- VPC peering: Choose this method if you want to use private connectivity, and when you have a VPC network in Google Cloud from which you can reach the source database. Use VPC peering if you have a VPN or Cloud Interconnect connection set up in Google Cloud.
- TCP Proxy via cloud-hosted VM: Choose this method when migrating from a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance which is using the old producer network architecture.
