Say you have a Aurora RDS PostgreSQL database that you want to use as the source database for Amazon Database Manager Service.

The documentation is unclear on this point so here you go: you can't use an Aurora RDS PostgreSQL database as the source database because Aurora doesn't support the concept of replication slots, which is how Amazon DMS migrates data from one database to another.

Better luck with other migration tools!
