Working with SQL Server containers on Docker
Containers are no longer the future, they are a the present and are here to change the way DBA's used to think about building SQL Server solutions. Spending long periods of time installing, configuring and preparing databases and SQL Server instances is no longer the case with containers.
In this session you will learn the basic and advanced methods to deploy a SQL Server database solutions using containers in a matter of minutes.
We will explore the options and tools (open source) we have available when working with SQL Server running on Docker containers through real world scenarios, like backing up \ restoring databases, high availability, version upgrades and the most important portability between cross platforms.
What's new with Amazon RDS for SQL Server
Amazon RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. With RDS, you can focus on your applications so you can give them the fast performance, high availability, security, and compatibility they need.
AWS is constantly adding new capabilities so you can leverage the latest technologies to experiment and innovate more quickly. This session will provide you insight and guidance about these new RDS capabilities and features, to optimize your deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and disaster recovery processes.
You will be able to make the most of RDS for SQL Server's new features at the end of this session.
Using CloudFormation to streamline CI/CD with Amazon RDS
AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to model, provision, and maintain the desired state of any infrastructure as a code resource in AWS.
This session will provide you with answers and guidelines to get you started, to build your CI/CD pipelines around IaC practices with AWS CloudFormation for Amazon RDS. You will learn the aspects, methods, and strategies to build and manage your deployments the same way as application stacks.
You will be able to build your CloudFormation template to deploy RDS for SQL Server on AWS at the end of this session.
SQL Server on Kubernetes
Data professionals were caught by surprise when VM's started to become the standard for SQL Server workloads 15 years ago.
Containers are not necessarily a replacement to VM's or whatsoever. In reality, they will make an excellent addition to your technology stack that could help you to solve a new kind of software problem.
This session will provide you best practices, methods, and practical solutions to help you manage your SQL Server workloads on Kubernetes; at the same time, to make your journey with this technology more comfortable and less painful.
Streamline Amazon RDS for SQL Server database migrations with PowerShell
AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell enables developers and administrators to manage their AWS services and resources from a code/scripting-based environment. In this demo session, learn how to use AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell in combination with the SQL Server module for PowerShell to streamline database migrations using native SQL Server backups from a self-managed environment (on premises/Amazon EC2) to Amazon RDS for SQL Server using Amazon S3.
SQL Containers in Microsoft Azure
Containers offer efficiency, flexibility, and portability out of the box. Becoming a very attractive platform for application and database developers who wants to build sandbox environments, without the burdens of a complex infrastructure.
As the container technology growths to become more relevant and popular, Microsoft continues to provide container cloud-based services like ACI and AKS to fulfill this need.
If you are looking to translate your existing knowledge about SQL Server containers on-premises to the cloud, this session will get you started in your container-driven cloud journey to design, deploy, manage and monitor SQL Containers in Microsoft Azure.
SQL DB: a developer's catalyst
Let's discuss the new feature added for support developers in their day-to-day work: we'll go over what we released recently, what is in the work and what is planned. From the new JSON Data Type, T-SQL string operations, Data API builder, External REST calls, Change Data Capture, AI capabilities and more. We'll discuss where the development space is going and what we should to do support the evolution of development and developers into whatever the future holds. If you are a data developer, make sure to come to this session!
SQL Containers en Microsoft Azure
Containers ofrecen eficiencia, flexibilidad y portabilidad listos para usar, convirtiéndose en una plataforma muy atractiva para desarrolladores de aplicaciones y bases de datos que desean construir entornos de prueba sin tener que manejar una infraestructura compleja.
A medida que la tecnología de contenedores crece, se vuelve más relevante y popular, Microsoft continúa brindando servicios novedosos en la nube que nos permiten satisfacer la necesidad de utilizar containers a la medida. Específicamente ACR, ACI y AKS.
Si estás buscando traducir tu conocimiento existente sobre containers on-prem hacia la nube, esta sesión te ayudará en esta nueva experiencia de diseñar, implementar, administrar y monitorear containers de SQL Server en Microsoft Azure.

Migraciones de bases de datos con Flyway
En su gran mayoría, los proyectos de software hoy en día aún dependen de procesos manuales para la implementación de cambios en bases de datos. Muchos de ellos no llegar a ser documentados debidamente, existiendo una diferencia de versión entre ambientes de producción, desarrollo y pruebas.
Flyway es una herramienta open source de migraciones de bases de datos, que permite a los desarrolladores aplicar practicas de control de versión para bases de datos.
En esta sesión introductoria, te ofreceré un tutorial rápido sobre como ponerse en marchar con Flyway. Compartiendo ejemplos de cómo iniciar migraciones desde cero, siempre conociendo el estado, descripción y detalles de cada uno de los cambios implementados a nuestras bases de datos.
