Building a cross-account continuous delivery pipeline for database migrations

• An automated multi-account setup simplifies database migrations.
• The confidence level of the changes applied increases.
• The process is easier to reproduce.
• Database migration is faster and more efficient.
• There is no need to use jump stations to connect to a database, which removes the need to provision, manage, and patch Amazon EC2

This post demonstrates how to set up the AWS Developer Tools suite to automate database migrations in a multi-account setup. The intended audience is developers, solutions architects, and database administrators with knowledge of AWS CloudFormation.

The solution uses four AWS accounts to showcase multi-account and multi-VPC CI/CD database migration.
