What SQL Server DBAs Need to Know About Docker Containers

Get introduced to SQL Server on containers and what you need to know as a DBA to start deploying and managing them in both development and production environments

You have been given new responsibilities to automate deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications – not just SQL Server databases. But you feel stuck and overwhelmed because you have so much to figure out. The available information on the internet isn't helping and you're wasting so much time trying to learn things on your own.  Even worse, you end up being a stressed, overworked DBA who wished you could focus on the “cool stuff”, but are instead stuck in firefighting mode while juggling the additional workload.

In this session, get introduced to SQL Server on containers and what you need to know to start deploying and managing them. You'll learn the different components that make up the container ecosystem and how to leverage containers for faster SQL Server deployments.
