The @DB2Night Show Episode
Deploying an existing Db2 to OpenShift or Cloud Pak for Data usually involves some form of export and import and a lot of work! Rather than you having to do all of the hard work, we introduced the Click to Containerize tool to help you move your on premise Db2 Linux database directly to the Cloud - with no exporting of data!
A lot has changed in the last year and Click to Containerize Version 2 is now in technical preview! A new UI and improved error handling make this utility a must-have for customers wanting to move their Db2 Linux workloads to a containerized environment or to another instance! The tool can also migrate Db2 Version 10.5, 11.1 and 11.5 databases directly into a Db2 container on OpenShift, Kubernetes, or Cloud Pak for Data system with no additional effort. This session will take you through the new enhancements to the IBM Db2 C2C program and how it can help modernize your Db2 databases quickly and efficiently!
