#gcp Hello All, I am trying to migrate a database from AWS RDS to GCP, the size is around 120GB. I thought it would be fast if I create a dump file and copy it to GCP and restore it. But while doing that it’s taking almost 7hours time. Is there any other approach that I can anticipate this very fast? Any suggestions?.
