IDUG NA 2026

Whether you’re evaluating data movement paths for your Db2 databases or are interested in efficiently operating your already migrated Db2 databases on Amazon RDS, we’ve got you covered. In this session, learn about data movement paths, including those with minimal downtime, for Db2 databases. Explore real-world examples to learn best practices that help ensure high availability, optimize performance, and meet your compliance needs. Bring your questions and challenges—this interactive talk offers you the opportunity to hear directly from AWS experts and collaborate with your peers. Plus, see how to supercharge your applications by integrating AWS AI/ML services like Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Sagemaker directly with RDS for Db2. Join us to turn your database into a launchpad for innovation.

Are you challenged with tasks having to provide audit reports detailing who has access to which objects and who has which privileges – even worse, who had access 3 months ago ?Many Db2 sites are using a log tool to accomplish these tasks – but are you aware of the relatively new capabilities in Db2 dealing with security information stored in the catalog ?We will dive into what Db2 has to offer natively and how you can handle regulatory requirements in an easier way augmenting your current processes.

Managing complex Db2 LUW environments requires moving past standard practices to achieve zero-downtime availability and extreme performance. This session offers a technical blueprint for executing high-stakes cross-platform migrations from legacy AIX systems to modern Linux on Power10 and AWS/RDS cloud infrastructures. We will analyze the tuning parameters required to stabilize environments by handling 180,000 SQL statements per second, 3 TB of daily log changes, and 10,000 concurrent connections. Attendees will learn to optimize OS, storage, and network layers under strict HADR, Audits and encryption requirements. Finally, we will demonstrate how to automate database fleets using Python and leverage Db2 12.1’s native AI and Genius Hub for agentic self-healing.
