# DMS Migration Project

An AWS DMS Migration Project is a resource in Database Migration Service that defines and manages the configuration for migrating databases. It organizes migration settings, including source and target endpoints, data mapping, and transformation rules, into a reusable project. This helps streamline and standardize database migrations across different environments.
