AWS database migration service has now added support for R4 instances types

The AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) will support Memory-Optimized R4 instances for migrations and all ongoing replications. The new R4 instances come with more memory per vCPU which can be utilized to migrate or replicate all workloads which are memory bound, typically the ones with high Transactions per Second which have to be migrated in near real time. This launch will see DMS support 3 instance types namely Burstable T2 type instances, Compute-Optimized C4 instances and Memory-Optimized R4 instances.  It is essential to perform a thorough and detailed research to choose the right instance type while migrating with DMS.
