We’re excited to announce the release of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v10.3, bringing important enhancements across multiple SSMA flavors to make your database migration journey simpler and more efficient.

Db2 SKU Recommendation (Public Preview)

One of the key highlights in this release is the SKU Recommendation feature for Db2 migrations. This capability helps you determine the right Azure target SKU (Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, or Azure VMs) by analyzing your Db2 source environment’s performance characteristics such as MIPS, IOPS, CPU count, and storage size.

With just a few inputs, SSMA for Db2 automatically generates a detailed recommendation report in HTML format with source system details and recommended Azure targets, giving you confidence in planning your migration.

You can see the full step-by-step flow in our Microsoft Learn documentation.
