Root Cause(s)
DMS’s address change
Why did the DMS address change (& when might it happen again?)

AWS Support mentioned that a host replacement occurred on both preprod/prod Replication Instances on - AWS Support was unable to get access to the records related to our DMS service issues back in October as the process logs are only kept for a limited time however there is a good chance that a host replacement also occurred in October. The public IPs would have been changed when the hosts were replaced.
