Please join us April 20th, from 2:30PM – 4:00PM at the Microsoft office in Corporate Woods.
Topic: Demystifying Azure SQL – Hyperscaling the DBA!
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft has said that SQL Server is the edge of the cloud. The reality is that most Senior IT Leaders in Kansas City are developing their cloud strategy. Are you as a DBA ready? Can you properly give your leadership advice on that strategy? We will begin with an overview of Azure Cloud Data Strategy. Discuss the reality of hybrid cloud. We will discuss the architecture and DBA basics including:
- How to create a database, backup, restore it
- Security
- How to move on premise to SQL DB (bacpac/dacpac)
- Performance, Scaling, Monitoring
- Brief overview of Hybrid Technologies (Stretch, Backup to Azure, Always On Replicas in the Azure)
These skills will allow you to be the “hyperscale” DBA.
