Elevating the Role of the DBA in the Cloud

Engineers from Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for Oracle will share how using managed services can free up your time as an Oracle database administrator to be more valuable to your customers as an engineer. Remove the undifferentiated grunt work from your day to day by learning to use APIs to automate pain away. Use your freed up time to scale yourself as an engineer, focusing on tuning, scaling, design, data transformation and analysis.

Objectives

1. Learn how you save time by using a managed database service like Amazon RDS (on-demand, quick provisioning; automated backups, scaling, and patching).

2. Spend time saved on providing value to your customers by using your existing skills on performance tuning and schema design. Right-size workloads to save money on license costs. Use Performance Insights and CloudWatch to monitor and tune your database

3. Learn how to rapidly set up clones and test copies of your databases (same and cross region), allowing for testing of new features, upgrades, disaster recovery, and application changes before heading to production.
