  • Secrets with database credentials stored in Amazon Secrets Manager

  • The Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that provides access to Secrets Manager

  • An instance profile that includes network and security settings

  2. Choose Migration projects. The Migration projects page opens.

  3. Choose Create migration project. The following table describes the settings.
