Automate the deployment of Amazon RDS for Db2 Instances with Terraform
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of provisioning and managing your computing infrastructure using code, rather than manual processes and settings. Popular IaC tools, services, and platforms include Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible, and Pulumi, each offering unique features to automate and manage infrastructure across various cloud environments. In this post, we demonstrate how Terraform, one of our partner products, can be used to deploy and manage RDS for Db2 instance.
Use HammerDB to run performance tests on Amazon RDS for Db2
To ensure that you properly size your Amazon RDS for Db2 instances and achieve comparable or better performance than your on-premises systems, you can use HammerDB. By using this tool, you can generate OLTP-type workloads using TPC-C tests, enabling you to compare performance between your on-premises Db2 and Amazon RDS for Db2 systems. This post guides you through running HammerDB tests on RDS for Db2. We provide a step-by-step process for creating an RDS for Db2 instance using an AWS CloudFormation template, setting up a Db2 client, and configuring HammerDB. You learn how to execute tests and interpret results to properly size your RDS for Db2 instances.
