DBA 2.0--How to Advance Your Career in a Changing Landscape
Description
Once upon a time, your success as a Database Administrator required only that you develop expertise in SQL Server installation strategies, backup and restore operations, and perhaps performance tuning. However, now that the modern IT landscape includes technologies such as cloud computing and server virtualization, your continued success requires you to adapt and expand your skills. It is increasingly important to develop a broad understanding of modern application stacks before you can facilitate an intelligence system design to support your data management requirements.
To achieve this goal, you need to build a foundation by understanding concepts related to virtualization, storage, and software-defined networking. After all, "the cloud" is just a massive virtualization environment.
In this full-day session, you will learn:
How modern all-flash storage arrays affect your overall database environment
Optimization strategies for a virtualized SQL Server environment
Cloud architecture options
Infrastructure as a Service
Virtual Machines
Virtual Networks
Azure Storage
Windows Storage Spaces
Platform as a Service
SQL Database
SQL Data Warehouse
Azure Data Lake
Security and performance management in a cloud world
Overall infrastructure architecture design
How to keep your SQL Server environments current in an ever-changing world of releases
How to automate as much as humanly possible, so you can actually take a holiday
