1---2name: azure-database-migration3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Database Migration service development including troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when planning Azure DMS migrations for SQL/MySQL/PostgreSQL, SSIS to Azure SQL/MI, or scripted PowerShell workflows, and other Azure Database Migration service related development tasks. Not for Azure Migrate (use azure-migrate), Azure SQL Database (use azure-sql-database), Azure SQL Managed Instance (use azure-sql-managed-instance), SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (use azure-sql-virtual-machines).4---5# Azure Database Migration service Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Database Migration service. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:14- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch`. Returns Markdown.15- **Fallback**: Use `WebFetch`. Returns Markdown.1617## Category Index1819| Category | Lines | Description |20|----------|-------|-------------|21| Troubleshooting | L30-L36 | Diagnosing and fixing common Azure DMS and DMS classic migration failures, including connectivity to source databases, configuration issues, and typical error messages. |22| Decision Making | L37-L42 | Choosing the right Azure DMS tool and scenario for your source/target databases, plus FAQs on supported migrations, limitations, and how to use Azure Database Migration Service. |23| Limits & Quotas | L43-L51 | Migration-specific limits, unsupported features, and constraints when using Azure DMS to move MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Managed Instance, MongoDB, and hybrid deployments. |24| Security | L52-L57 | Security guidance for Azure DMS migrations, including SQL best practices (network, auth, encryption) and configuring custom RBAC roles for MySQL migration scenarios. |25| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L58-L62 | Automating MySQL-to-Azure Database for MySQL migrations using Azure Database Migration Service with PowerShell scripts, parameters, and end-to-end workflow examples. |26| Deployment | L63-L67 | Using Azure DMS to redeploy or migrate SSIS packages to Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance, including configuration steps and migration considerations. |2728### Troubleshooting29| Topic | URL |30|-------|-----|31| Resolve common Azure Database Migration Service issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/faq |32| Troubleshoot common Azure DMS classic migration issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-troubleshooting-dms |33| Fix Azure DMS source database connectivity problems | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-troubleshooting-dms-source-connectivity |3435### Decision Making36| Topic | URL |37|-------|-----|38| Choose database migration tools with the Azure DMS matrix | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/dms-tools-matrix |39| Select supported Azure DMS migration scenarios | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/resource-scenario-status |4041### Limits & Quotas42| Topic | URL |43|-------|-----|44| Review migration limitations to Azure Database for MySQL | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-azure-mysql-fs-online |45| Review online PostgreSQL to Azure Database for PostgreSQL migration limitations | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-azure-postgresql-online |46| Review online migration limits to Azure SQL Managed Instance | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-azure-sql-db-managed-instance-online |47| Understand Azure DMS hybrid mode limitations and issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-dms-hybrid-mode |48| Review MongoDB to Azure Cosmos DB migration limitations with DMS | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/known-issues-mongo-cosmos-db |4950### Security51| Topic | URL |52|-------|-----|53| Apply security best practices for DMS SQL migrations | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/dms-security-best-practices |54| Configure custom RBAC roles for MySQL migrations in DMS | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/resource-custom-roles-mysql-database-migration-service |5556### Integrations & Coding Patterns57| Topic | URL |58|-------|-----|59| Automate MySQL to Azure MySQL migration with DMS PowerShell | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/migrate-mysql-to-azure-mysql-powershell |6061### Deployment62| Topic | URL |63|-------|-----|64| Redeploy SSIS packages to Azure SQL Database with DMS | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/how-to-migrate-ssis-packages |65| Migrate SSIS packages to Azure SQL Managed Instance with DMS | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/how-to-migrate-ssis-packages-managed-instance |
