Migration jobs represent data movement managed by
Database Migration Service. They let you combine the source and destination
connection profiles, define settings specific to that particular migration
process, monitor the progress, and safely finalize the data movement process.
Migration jobs progress differently depending on their type
(continuous or one-time). Homogeneous Cloud SQL for SQL Server migrations only
support the continuous migration type. To get a complete, step-by-step
migration walkthrough for this migration scenario, see
Cloud SQL for SQL Server migration guide.
