SUMMARY:Create a YAML CICD Pipeline for Azure SQL Database - Torsten Strauß
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\nIn this session\, you will learn how to create a YAML pipeline for continuous\nintegration and deployment of an Azure Database in Azure DevOps. In doing so\, the pipeline will create a schema drift report in the first phase that needs to be reviewed before approval before the changes are deployed to Dev\, Test\, and Prod. The dacpac file is then uploaded to the artifact feed for review and debugging purposes. The pipeline uses a customized SSDT project template\, which also ensures that the security\, such as users and permissions\, are applied in an environment-specific way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\nTorsten Strauß\n\nTorsten (MVP\, MCSE\, MCT) has been working with Microsoft SQL Server since the turn of the millennium and is specialized in performance optimization for large SQL Server environments. \nHe has been with BP as a database engineer for over two decades and collaborates closely with Sarpedon Quality Lab as a Principal Microsoft SQL Server Consultant. Torsten is the founder of inside-sqlserver.com and has given more than 120 presentations on Microsoft SQL Server performance optimization at national and international conferences and user groups. Torsten has been recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional for Data Platform since 2018.

SUMMARY:The Future of Big Data with Gen AI: Accelerating System Migration and Boosting
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\n### The Future of Big Data with Gen AI: Accelerating System Migration and Boosting Efficiency \n#### Description \nIn the fast-evolving landscape of big data\, frequent system migrations pose significant challenges\, particularly in code conversion and adoption of new data processing engines. This presentation addresses the inefficiencies of manual code migration processes faced by big data teams\, emphasizing the need for scalability and faster adoption rates. We propose an innovative approach that utilizes Gen AI and cloud services such as AWS Bedrock\, Redshift\, Glue\, Athena\, and S3\, coupled with robust automated testing mechanisms. Our methodology has proven effective\, demonstrating a 75% reduction in the time and effort required for code conversion and testing during migrations. We will also explore further applications of this strategy across the big data domain\, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance operational efficiency for big data teams. \nRegister for Future Data Driven Summit 2024

SUMMARY:Disaster Recovery Strategies for SQL Server
DESCRIPTION:***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***\n  \n\nDetails\n\n\n“Hope is not a strategy” – Google SRE Team motto\nBeing able to recover our data in the event of an outage is a (if not the most) critical aspect of managing SQL Server. But how do we plan for the worst? What technologies are available to us? And how do we implement a disaster recovery strategy when the worst has just occurred?\nJoin Microsoft Data Platform MVP\, Andrew Pruski\, in this session to delve into SQL Server disaster recovery strategies.\nWe’ll start by defining the difference between high availability and disaster recovery. They are often combined together but they are different\, more like two sides of the same coin and that affects our choices when picking a technology to implement.\nBut before we start to implement any DR technologies we need to define a few things: – \n\nWhat is the maximum amount of data that we can afford to lose? (RPO)\nHow long do we have to recover our SQL Server instances? (RTO)\nWhere is our DR site located? Is it in a remote data centre or in the Cloud?\n\nThen we’ll look at the different technologies available to us in SQL Server\, how can they help us define our disaster recovery strategy? Each option has a different implementation and we’ll look at: – \n\nBackup/Restore strategies\nLog Shipping\nMirroring\nAlways On Availability Groups\n\nAfter we have defined the technology we’ll look at how to test our disaster recovery plan. We’ll cover: – \n\nAlerting\, when do we need to push the big red button?\nEnactment procedure\, who will initiate the DR fail over?\nFail back\, how do we get back to our main production environment?\n\nThis session is for anyone who works with data and wants to learn more about how to implement a resilient disaster recovery strategy.
