If you've ever been handed database duties with zero training, you're not alone...
Most infrastructure practitioners today are managing at least some part of a database estate they were never formally trained on. Join us for a practical session that closes that gap directly.
We'll be looking at give things practicing DBAs consistently wish the sysadmins around them understood, before the next incident, not during it. We'll walk through the CPU, memory, storage, and maintenance fundamentals that quietly make or break database performance. The same fundamentals explain why a green infra dashboard doesn't always mean a healthy database.
What You'll Come Away With...
Five concrete things to check at the database layer before you trust an all-green infra dashboardA clearer sense of where your responsibility as an "Accidental DBA" actually starts and stopsPractical language to use with your DBA or database team the next time you're the first responder on a database-adjacent incident
Who This Is For...
DevOps engineers, SREs, sysadmins, and infrastructure professionals responsible for keeping databases reliable, available, and performing well across cloud and on-premises environments, even when they do not have a DBA title or dedicated DBA support.
If you’re responsible for database uptime, performance, or troubleshooting, this session is for you!
