Provisions, connects, migrates, and operates Amazon RDS for Db2. Applies when provisioning with IBM customer and site IDs (License Manager, BYOL, GovCloud), connecting over TLS, fixing SQL30082N after Secrets Manager rotation, migration from Db2 LUW (Linux, AIX, Windows, AS400) or z/OS mainframe (ADB2GEN, Q Replication), choosing code page/collation (EBCDIC, CCSID), S3 backup/restore, Multi-AZ and cross-region standby replicas, RDSADMIN procedures, customer-managed KMS BYOK, self-managed Active Directory Kerberos, Db2 audit to S3, minimum IAM, or colocation.

# Amazon RDS for Db2

## Overview

Amazon RDS for Db2 is a managed IBM Db2 LUW service. RDS for Db2 is managed — you cannot SSH to the host, install agents, or run unfenced external stored procedures in C/COBOL. Java stored procedures work via `sqlj.install_jar`. This skill covers the operator lifecycle: provisioning with IBM licensing, client install and TLS connectivity, migration from self-managed Db2 on Linux/AIX/Windows/z/OS/AS400, S3 backup and restore, Multi-AZ and cross-region standby replicas, and RDSADMIN stored procedures that replace SYSCTRL/SYSMAINT authority.

It also covers six additional security and operations areas: customer-managed KMS keys (BYOK), self-managed Active Directory with Kerberos authentication, Db2 audit to S3, code page and collation selection (EBCDIC, CCSID), minimum IAM permissions, and EC2/RDS colocation for Multi-AZ latency and failover.

The AWS MCP server is recommended but not required; all operations are expressed in AWS CLI syntax and run with or without it.
