Introducing Amazon RDS for DB2
Amazon has collaborated with IBM to offer Amazon RDS for DB2, a fully managed database service that automates time-consuming administrative tasks. Customers using DB2 can now leverage the reliability and managed capabilities of RDS to run their mission-critical workloads.

Amazon RDS for DB2 addresses these challenges by offering enhanced security features, high availability through RDS Multi-AZ, and migration options. Customers benefit from the ability to integrate with various AWS and IBM services, pay-as-you-go pricing, and the ability to stop database instances to save costs for non-24/7 workloads.

Customers can bring their own DB2 license for RDS and continue to use their existing on-premises licensing policies. Migration options include using native tools like DB2 backup exports or AWS Database Migration Service. DBAs can focus on higher-value tasks such as schema design and query optimization while utilizing AWS monitoring tools and native DB2 tools for managing databases.
