DB2 in the Cloud workshop (Hands-on lab with DB2 Warehouse on Cloud - requires laptop/desktop computer with browser and internet access)

More and more, organizations are looking to the cloud for agile and cost-effective "as-a-service" solutions. This includes the need for on-demand, cloud-based database offerings, whether it be for new mobile and web-based applications or for the extension and modernization of an on-premise data warehouse. In this workshop you'll learn about the different options available for running Db2 in the cloud. If you want to host your Db2 databases in the cloud with the ultimate in flexibility then a bring-your-own-license approach or an instance of the Db2 Hosted service might be the right choice for you. Or if you're looking to push more of the management and maintenance tasks off to somebody else then you're going to want to take a look at fully-managed Db2 on Cloud and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud offerings. And if you're looking to a private cloud solution then Db2 Warehouse might be the right solution for you. In this workshop you'll learn all about these different ways of running your favorite database in the cloud including what's new with each of them. But don't worry if the cloud is relatively new to you, as we'll start off with an introduction and get you familiar with the basic terminology and concepts. Additionally, we'll cover some of the common ways for getting data loaded into Db2 in the cloud. This workshop also includes a hands-on lab (laptop required) in which you'll get some experience using Db2 Warehouse on Cloud.
