Mastering SQL Server: The Art of Smart Automation - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The adoption of containerization and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, has grown quickly as DevOps teams look to build scalable and resilient applications. Container environments consist of many moving parts. For example, in a busy application environment, hundreds of pods, the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes, are continuously being launched and decommissioned. In this complex and dynamic environment, monitoring the health of your application infrastructure and troubleshooting issues can quickly become challenging. Between resource allocation issues that can cause pod eviction events, an unexpected termination scenario due to a spot instance availability, or CrashLoopBackOff errors arising from missing dependency that results in repeated failed launches; the sheer scale and complexity of a Kubernetes-back application requires more than standard monitoring and alerting to ensure optimal performance and health. However, automation done well is more than just setting a SQL Agent task to take nightly database backups. Smart automation incorporates aspects of monitoring enabling your automations to respond dynamically and flexibly to the situation at hand. You have a lot of choices in how you automate your workflows in SQL Server. There are tools to help you write your automation code, products to set-it-and-forget-it, and everything in between. Join Database Evangelist Kevin Kline to discuss where monitoring ends and automation begins. In this session, you’ll learn: • How database automation and better monitoring can support trouble-free operations • Which tasks should you consider automating, on which servers, and in which order? • The difference between PowerShell/korn/bash scripting, Microsoft CoPilot for SQL Server, Power Automate, DIY scripting, and an enterprise product • Resources available to you to continue to learn about SQL Server automation Join us to learn more about the world of SQL Server automation from experts in the field.
