AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) now supports IBM Db2 z/OS as a source for the full load operational mode. Using AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT), you can convert schemas and code objects from IBM DB2 z/OS to Aurora MySQL, Aurora PostgreSQL, MySQL and PostgreSQL targets. Once you have the schema and objects in a format compatible with target database you can utilize AWS DMS to migrate data from IBM DB2 running on the z/OS operating system to any AWS DMS supported targets .

Today, AWS announced the ability to toggle routes on and off when using AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces. This feature lets customers create inactive routes which can be activated after creation once the route’s targeted service is ready to receive traffic. Customers can use route toggling to fine-tune their routing approach and deliver just-in-time route changes as applications are incrementally refactored.

A customer can use these CAP Lambdas to give WorkMail access to availability information for users on other calendaring providers they own, even if their endpoints are private, or if they do not have an Exchange Web Services (EWS) endpoint.
