Amazon RDS for Db2 Now Available in Additional Regions

Amazon RDS for Db2 is now available in the Asia Pacific (Thailand), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Mexico (Central), and Canada West (Calgary) Regions. This service makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale Db2 databases in the cloud. Customers can deploy a Db2 database in minutes with automatically configured parameters for optimal performance. For databases setup with Multi-AZ configuration, Amazon RDS performs synchronous replication to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone to provide high availability.

To use Amazon RDS for Db2, customers can purchase a Db2 license from the AWS Marketplace for hourly, pay-as-you-go pricing, or use Bring Your Own License (BYOL). Both hourly and BYOL licensing are available in Standard and Advanced Editions. You can also choose to use the latest Db2 Community Edition that provides all the features available in Standard and Advanced Editions, with no commercial software licensing charges for development and test applications. This allows you to easily start developing and testing Db2 applications with a managed database service without worrying about software licensing.

To learn more about Amazon RDS for Db2, refer to the documentation and pricing pages.
