Amazon RDS for Db2 Adds Reserved Instances, 47% Off

💰 Amazon RDS for Db2 now offers Reserved Instances with up to 47% cost savings versus On-Demand pricing. The offering is available for all supported instance types and supports both Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Db2 licenses purchased through the AWS Marketplace. Reserved Instances include size flexibility so the discounted rate can automatically apply across sizes within the same instance family (for example, a db.r7i.2xlarge RI applying to two db.r7i.xlarge instances). Reserved Instances can be purchased via the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK; consult Amazon RDS for Db2 Pricing for details.

Amazon RDS for Db2 Adds Support for Read Replicas Now

🔁 Amazon RDS for Db2 now supports read replicas, allowing customers to add up to three replicas per instance to offload read-only workloads and reduce load on the primary database. Replicas can be created in the same Region or across Regions and use asynchronous replication so read queries do not impact the writer. You can promote a replica for disaster recovery to enable read/write operations. Note that IBM Db2 licenses are required for all replica vCPUs; customers may use On‑Demand licenses from the AWS Marketplace or BYOL.
