If you set Continuous Synchronization to Yes when configuring the migration settings, after the full replication is complete, you need to manually launch the target server to complete the migration.
If you set Continuous Synchronization to No, skip this section as the system will automatically launch the target server after the full replication is complete.
Scenarios
You can launch a target server for a migration in the Continuous sync status, and the continuous synchronization will be interrupted. To perform a synchronization after you launch the target server, click Sync to synchronize the incremental data.
Before launching the target server, you can clone the target server for service testing, and only launch the target server after tests confirm there are no issues.
The cloned server must be in the same AZ as the target server, but can be in a different VPC.
