# Migrating from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB
<a name="chap-mongodb2documentdb"></a>

Use the following tutorial to guide you through the process of migrating from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). In this tutorial, you do the following:
+ Install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance.
+ Populate MongoDB with sample data.
+ Create an AWS DMS replication instance, a source endpoint (for MongoDB), and a target endpoint (for Amazon DocumentDB).
+ Run an AWS DMS task to migrate the data from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

**Important**  
Before you begin, make sure to launch an Amazon DocumentDB cluster in your default virtual private cloud (VPC). For more information, see [Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/getting-started.html) in the *Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.* 

To estimate what it will cost to run this walkthrough on AWS, you can use the AWS Pricing Calculator. For more information, see [https://calculator.aws/](https://calculator.aws/).
