Turn Runbooks into Notebooks: Handling Maintenance and Emergencies with Azure Data Studio
Event Date: 03-10-2020 - Session time: 10:50:00 - Track: Enterprise Database Administration Deployment
Speaker: Matt Gordon
Title: Turn Runbooks into Notebooks: Handling Maintenance and Emergencies with Azure Data Studio
Abstract:
On-call DBAs have all had that phone call in the middle of the night: "the database is down, fix it now!" We start scrambling to piece together various scripts to analyze the emergency, mitigate the issues, and kick off a failover or similar fix to make the database happy and healthy once again. Even scheduled maintenance likely requires us to download scripts from a ticket, run the scripts, and screenshot the results for documentation. What if I told you that Azure Data Studio's notebooks allow you to execute T-SQL and PowerShell together to handle these processes from a single document that documents its own results and can be stored directly in source control? Join me in this demo-heavy session to see how we can handle real-world on-call situations using Azure Data Studio notebooks.

How to Budget for a Azure Migration
Event Date: 03-10-2020 - Session time: 10:50:00 - Track: Cloud Application Development Deployment
Speaker: Dustin Dorsey
Title: How to Budget for a Azure Migration
Abstract:
You have heard all about the awesome opportunities that utilizing cloud technology provides and you are sold! Technically, everyone agrees it's the right answer and are ready to get started. However, there is one problem. Your organization needs to understand what its going to cost before approving the project. Understanding the cost to move to Azure and its run rate are questions several companies struggle with and can present a major roadblock for moving forward. Oftentimes it's not because the cost is too high, its simply because they do not know what to expect and budget for. In this session, we will walk through the process of building estimates, creating a Azure budget and discuss the several unique considerations you need to be mindful of such as networking, storage, service dependencies, workload considerations and more. As you explore opportunities to migrate to the cloud, don't let cost be a deterring factor.
