A compilation of fundamental mistakes over a career that spans 23 years. Best enjoyed with ice, or neat.
SQL Server Virtualization and I/O Patterns
In this session we will explore the SQL Server engine’s I/O patterns and how they play into virtualization infrastructure. With the knowledge you’ll gain in this session you will be able to have more educated conversations with your cloud/infrastructure/VM/storage administrators in order to get the most performance and use the best features for your SQL Server (or SQL in Azure/AWS/GCP) environments.
SQL Server Sleuthing: Finding Out How Specific Trace Flags Work
Let's don our Sherlock Holmes hat and dig into the guts of the SQL Server engine to figure out how a given trace flag works. At first we will have very little knowledge about it, but as we continue the investigation, its secrets will be revealed.
And, um, yeah, we'll need the debugger for this one.
SQL Server and Storage: Understanding The Layers
In this session you will learn about all the different parts of the operating system, hypervisor and network stack and how SQL Server IO works on top of them. This is that part of your database server that you always wanted to learn about. Here's your chance!

No, we're not talking about database snapshots. In this session we're going to discuss SQL Server VM and storage-level snapshots! This is also important if you're in the cloud...so don't miss this talk. Everything you wanted to know about snapshots: Consistency, tools and protocols used, performance implications, and more.
Queues All the Way Down: Tracing SQL Server I/O
In this session we're going to explore all the different places where your SQL Server queues I/O. We will look at the operating system stack, hypervisor, storage network, and finally the storage devices themselves.
This will give you a much better idea of where to look when things are slow. You will learn concepts that apply everywhere: VMs on-prem, in the cloud, containers, baremetal, etc.
Be prepared for tons of bits and bytes!
