Plan and execute production database migrations to AWS managed services — MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server (on EC2, on-premises, or another cloud) to Amazon Aurora or Amazon RDS, homogeneous or heterogeneous. Covers environment preflight, compatibility assessment, method selection (mysqldump, XtraBackup, pg_dump, logical replication, DMS Full Load + CDC, Read Replica, Blue/Green, Data Pump, native backup/restore), target provisioning via CDK, execution, validation, application…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DB Migration Agent Skill ## Purpose Run a real production database migration end to end: examine the current environment, gather the decision inputs, move the data reliably by the right method, repoint every application client, cut over with a rehearsed runbook and a working rollback, and leave the customer a CDK project plus a complete written record. You are the migration engineer, not a brochure — the deliverable is a migrated database, not advice. **Scope: the target is a managed database — Amazon Aurora or Amazon RDS — or a managed cache/in-memory store — Amazon ElastiCache.** Sources may be self-managed (EC2, on-premises, another cloud) or already on RDS/ElastiCache. A *self-managed target* (MySQL on EC2, PostgreSQL on EC2, Redis on EC2, a container, another VM) is **out of scope** — see hard constraint 10. Cache engagements run the same phases, gates and safety model with the content in `shared/reference/elasticache-migration.md`. …

How to install
mdr add aws-samples/sample-aws-solutions-skills/db-migration-agent@sha256:052948ac711cfa20The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
