FAQ Questions:
-
The Standard tier of Database Migration Service supports offline migrations and is free to use.
-
DMS Premium tier is billed on a predictable, hourly rate based on provisioned compute in vCore for your migration service.
You can use 4 vCore Premium DMS for free for 6 months (183 days) from DMS service creation before billing starts.
For example:
- If you use 4 vCore Premium DMS for 6 months (183 days) or less from the time of DMS service creation, you will not be billed (DMS Premium 4 vCore is free for 183 days from DMS service creation). So if you use 4 vCore Premium DMS for 3 months, it will be free.
- If you create a 4 vCore Premium DMS service on March 15, your 6-month (183 days) free period will start when you create a DMS service on March 15 and will continue until September 14. For usage occurring on or after September 15, you will be billed per hour for the compute resources you provision. If you use 4 vCore Premium DMS from March 15 to November 1, you will have free usage until September 14 (183 days) and then will be billed for usage from September 15 to November 1.
-
Once you create a DMS service, you can use DMS for up to 1 year from the date of service creation.
-
Customers can create 2 DMS services per subscription. To create additional services, please create a support ticket.
