Scenario: A company is planning to migrate its database to a cloud environment. What are the considerations for implementing data compression and encryption in DB2 on the cloud?

  • Assuming that cloud providers automatically handle compression and encryption
  • Disregarding compression and encryption due to cloud's inherent security measures
  • Encrypting data locally before migrating to the cloud
  • Evaluating performance impact and cost-effectiveness
Evaluating performance impact and cost-effectiveness ensures that compression and encryption strategies align with the organization's budget and performance requirements in the cloud environment. Assuming that cloud providers automatically handle compression and encryption might lead to misunderstandings and inadequate security measures. Disregarding compression and encryption due to cloud's inherent security measures overlooks the need for additional layers of protection. Encrypting data locally before migrating to the cloud might introduce complexities and increase the risk of data exposure during the migration process.
