  • Mastering SQL Server: The Art of Smart Automation

    By:

    Type: Replay

    The adoption of containerization and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, has grown quickly as DevOps teams look to build scalable and resilient applications. Container environments consist of many moving parts. For example, in a busy application environment, hundreds of pods, the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes, are continuously being launched and decommissioned. In this complex and dynamic environment, monitoring the health of your application infrastructure and troubleshooting issues can quickly become challenging. Between resource allocation issues that can cause pod eviction events, an unexpected termination scenario due to a spot instance availability, or CrashLoopBackOff errors arising from missing dependency that results in repeated failed launches; the sheer scale and complexity of a Kubernetes-back application requires more than standard monitoring and alerting to ensure optimal performance and health. However, automation done well is more than just setting a SQL Agent task to take nightly database backups. Smart automation incorporates aspects of monitoring enabling your automations to respond dynamically and flexibly to the situation at hand. You have a lot of choices in how you automate your workflows in SQL Server. There are tools to help you write your automation code, products to set-it-and-forget-it, and everything in between. Join Database Evangelist Kevin Kline to discuss where monitoring ends and automation begins. In this session, you’ll learn: • How database automation and better monitoring can support trouble-free operations • Which tasks should you consider automating, on which servers, and in which order? • The difference between PowerShell/korn/bash scripting, Microsoft CoPilot for SQL Server, Power Automate, DIY scripting, and an enterprise product • Resources available to you to continue to learn about SQL Server automation Join us to learn more about the world of SQL Server automation from experts in the field.

  • How to: Improve DevOps with Database Integrated Monitoring

    By:

    Type: Video

    DevOps is a widespread and popular set of practices, tools, and philosophies used to improve and accelerate the system's development life cycle. DevOps automates and integrates the processes between software development teams (“Dev”) and IT administration teams (“Ops”). While DevOps is popular for full-stack software development, it is also excellent for database development and can help reduce or eliminate many database performance issues before they ever deploy to production. Unfortunately, this practice isn’t widespread. But it should be! In this two-part webcast, you will learn how developers using Visual Studio “quality gates” can integrate with SolarWinds DPA and SQL Sentry to make that happen. Without this integration, undetected performance problems can lead to lost productivity and even lost data, as well as significant time spent by developers and database administrators (DBAs) chasing down performance problems. Packed with demos in Visual Studio and both DPA and SQL Sentry, you will see how to identify SQL Server performance problems in the development cycle, before the changes hit production. PREREQUISITES: Basic proficiency with core SQL statements, like CREATE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE

    As a DBA, it can be frustrating to get assigned a ticket suggesting something is wrong with the database, and after you spend the time you don't have, it becomes clear it wasn't the database at all. It was the underlying infrastructure, network, etc. In this video, we show how SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) can enable your IT team to monitor the health and availability of your Microsoft® SQL Server and other database instances. SAM in the hands of your IT support and monitoring teams provides broad visibility across the stack. It can make it easy for the team to identify the underlying cause for database availability and performance problems. SAM gives you visibility to the underlying elements with an impact on database availability and performance. It also looks up at the applications the databases are supporting, helping eliminate wasted time and resources, finger-pointing, slow time to repair, and unhappy customers.
