Lab challenges are hands-on labs with the gloves off. You jump into an auto-provisioned cloud environment and are given a goal to accomplish. No instructions, no hints. To pass, you'll have a limited time to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and get the checks that inspect the state of your lab environment.
In this challenge lab, your AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and Relational Database Service skills are put to the test. You need to complete several tasks that result in successfully migrating a database between two real RDS instances before time runs out.
