Performing common system tasks for Amazon RDS for Db2 DB instances
You can perform certain common database administrator tasks related to the system on your Amazon RDS DB instances running Db2. To deliver a managed service experience, Amazon RDS doesn't provide shell access to DB instances, and restricts access to certain system procedures and tables that require advanced privileges.
For information about granting and revoking privileges and attaching to the remote database for RDS for Db2, see the following topics.

Creating a custom database endpoint
When you migrate to Amazon RDS for Db2, you can use custom database endpoint URLs to minimize
changes to your application. For example, if you use db2.example.com as your
current DNS record, you can add it to Amazon Route 53. In Route 53, you can use private hosted zones
to map your current DNS database endpoint to an RDS for Db2 database endpoint. To add a custom
A or CNAME record for an Amazon RDS database endpoint, see Registering and
managing domains using Amazon Route 53 in the
Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
Note
If you can't transfer your domain to Route 53, you can use your DNS provider to create a
CNAME record for the RDS for Db2 database endpoint URL. Consult your DNS
provider documentation.
