The database administration role as we knew it is dead. DBAs who have been around for decades have become irrelevant in this data driven economy. Developers want autonomous management and executive leaders want to cut costs anyway they can. Join Oracle community experts as we discuss the next evolutionary role of the database administration role and what we must do to adapt and survive in this ever changing dynamic technology driven world. Learn what future skills you need to possess and how you can stay on top of the demand. Discussions will include how technical enhancements to autonomous databases, cloud innovations and what you must learn to survive, how AI and machine learning can impact the database scene and understanding which technologies you need to learn to adapt. In this session, you will learn: • what is important in the database industry • how to generate your “OpEx Value” in an era where everything is about the bottom line • how to understand how business knowledge plays in the DBA role • how to innovate and win with Oracle Cloud, Azure and AWS • the value of the heterogeneous DBA • the critical role of the data driven DBA • the impact of autonomous in the DBA world • what relevance DBAs have in the autonomous world and how we can adapt • how does the pluggable DBAs have relevance? • why is the Cloud database administration worth while for me to learn #6. Pluggable Databases Risen From the Dead With the recent announcement at Oracle OpenWorld, starting in Oracle Database 19c, we are allowed to have up to 3 pluggable databases per container database. Effective Oracle Database 20c, non-containerized databases will no longer be supported. As an attendee of this session, you will receive a free copy of the PDB Me to Oracle Cloud book written by Oracle ACEs. Come learn what it takes to effectively create, configure, manage and monitor Oracle PDBs. Learn all the latest and greatest new features of Oracle PDBs from Oracle 12.2/18c/19c. Innovations in pluggable databases will blow your mind. Innovations in Oracle PDBs will change how you: • patch your databases • perform database upgrades • provide reporting databases • provision clones of pre-production, QA and DEV environments • setup Data Guard between the primary and standby environments • setup performance governors on the database tier • setup security with pluggable DBAs • consolidate your database environments • ask for outage windows to perform maintenance • can confidently provide higher availability, reliability and scalability
