  1. Towards Self-Managing Databases Tomas Talius, Principal Software Architect, Microsoft Corporation

  2. Database Mgmt Work Continuum • Bare metal provisioning: • Hardware/specs • OS & its patches • Database software deployment: • DBMS & patches • HA/DR • Backup strategy • Upgrade testing • Monitoring • Compliance/security • Repeat this for all environments; production & test

  3. Database Mgmt Continuum (2) • Capacity planning • Change management • Application specific work: • Development support • Performance analysis and tuning • Troubleshooting & fire-fighting • How much of the work is application or business problem specific?

  4. Database As A Service • DaaS should address to common tasks (i.e. tax) shared by all DBAs • HW deployment and monitoring • SW deployment and patching • Local HA, DR, Backup retention & HA • Load balancing & elasticity • Upgrade/compat guarantees • Cheap to operate at scale using 9-5 working hours; no pagers for routine failures • Cloud systems (e.g. SQL Azure) solve this today • Security, audit and compliance • Painful and complicated to do it right

  5. DBA Role in Daas • Enable DBAs to focus on higher value work: • Self-service • DBA to specify policies to the system; both for the system and an application • Focus on logical administration • Work requiring specific knowledge of the application • Things where automatic guessing is complicated (index tuning) • Keep the existing tools and investments; do not reinvent the familiar models
