I've started with SQL Server 6.5 but only as a sys-admin and not as DBA. Later I'd worked as a full DBA with SQL Server 2000 and my love to SQL Server started. In 2015 I'd got more interested in SQL PASS and tried to speak for the first time... the main part of my job is to work as DB-Admin and solution architect but I'm trying to widen my horizons. In 2016 I've visited and volunteered at the German SQL Saturdays und SQLGrillen and since October 2016 I'm the organizer of Azure Meetup Hamburg.

Simplify SQL Server Setup by Automation

How long will it take to set up and configure a new SQL Server? Do you always set the parameter to the same values?

In this session, I'll show you a combination of PowerShell and Desired State Configuration in order to install a fresh SQL Server and configure it according to best practices... and it doesn't matter if on-prem, VMware or in any cloud. After this session, you will be able to understand the technology of DSC and how to build your own scripts.

Mashup Azure SQL - What do you need and what you'll get

Everybody speaks about getting into the cloud, even with databases... so let me introduce you to Azure SQL in all their beautiful colors and different options.

I'll be speaking about Azure SQL in general, the different engines or services, and what you'll get for your money. Features, ways of deployment, and how to get your data into it.

After this session, you should be able to:
- Understand the benefits of SQL Server in Azure
- Articulate the critical differentiators between SQL Server on-prem, in Azure VM, in Azure SQL DB (Single database, Elastic Pools, and Managed instance), and hybrid
- Explain the different service tiers within Azure SQL DB, and evaluate what is best for your workloads and business requirements (Serverless, Hyperscale, General Purpose, Business Critical, etc.)

Introduction into Azure Arc Data Services

Azure ARC offers the possibility to make your own data center part of its (hybrid) environment, here you can go several different ways to deploy the services and appropriate preparations are necessary.

in this session, I will show you how you can get to your own hybrid environment with managed instances or how you can manage your multi-cloud environment from one portal.

Deploy your SQL Server on Azure

If you deploy your virtual SQL Server in Azure, you should consider certain things to not experience your "blue miracle" later.
Where are the pitfalls, what configuration options are there, and which screws can be turned to optimize?
Join my session to learn about that ;-)

Change your skills - from an onpremise DBA to a cloud DBA

In this session, everything will be around changing your daily business from an on-premise environment to a cloud world... new challenges, new tasks, and new options... in order not to struggle too often, you need to create new knowledge and learn a lot of new stuff, so I want to show several ways to update your skills and what you really need to become cloud database admin.
