# Getting started

Available in VPC

 

Once you've reviewed the Database Migration Service specifications, [quickstart](/docs/en/dms-procedure), and [glossary](/docs/en/dms-glossary), you're ready to start using the service. Your first step is subscribing to Database Migration Service.

## Subscribe to the service

You do not have to go through a separate procedure to initiate subscription to Database Migration Service. You can create and manage endpoints and migration tasks directly from the Database Migration Service menu in the NAVER Cloud Platform console.

To access the Database Migration Service menu in the NAVER Cloud Platform console:

1. Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click **Region & Platform** at the upper right of the console interface.
3. Select the Region in use and the platform, and then click **[Apply]**.
4. At the upper left of the console interface, click the icon**Menu**.
5. Navigate to **All Services** > *Database** > **Database Migration Service**.
  - For information about how to create an endpoint, see [Create an endpoint](/docs/en/dms-endpointmanagement#Endpoint%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1), and for information about how to create a migration task, see [Create a migration task](/docs/en/dms-migrationmanagement#Migration%EC%9E%91%EC%97%85%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1).

## Cancel subscription

You do not have to go through a separate procedure to unsubscribe to Database Migration Service. The service is considered canceled when you stop and delete the created migration tasks and delete the endpoints. For information about how to delete a migration task, see [Delete a migration task](/docs/en/dms-migrationmanagement#Migration%EC%9E%91%EC%97%85%EC%82%AD%EC%A0%9C), and for information about how to delete an endpoint, see [Delete an endpoint](/docs/en/dms-endpointmanagement#Endpoint%EC%82%AD%EC%A0%9C).
