Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services (and not only). In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

If SQL Server is heart of our environment, his health should be very important, right? If SQL Server is important, his availability for our businesses (internal and external) is important to. For our customers doesn't matter where data are stored, how are stored and what we do with those data. Especially for our managers. The data must be available on demand, on time, at he moment of request. High Availability is our responsibility. How we can prepare our environment for HA? How HA is connected for with SLA? And why Service Level Agreement are important for us? In this session I want to discuss about HA options for SQL Server (2008, 2012), about our different customers, and about Service Level Agreement (formal or not).
End-to-end Troubleshooting Checklist for Microsoft SQL ServerKevin Kline
Learning how to detect, diagnose and resolve performance problems in SQL Server is tough. Often, years are spent learning how to use the tools and techniques that help you detect when a problem is occurring, diagnose the root-cause of the problem, and then resolve the problem.
In this session, attendees will see demonstrations of the tools and techniques which make difficult troubleshooting scenarios much faster and easier, including:
• XEvents, Profiler/Traces, and PerfMon
• Using Dynamic Management Views (DMVs)
• Advanced Diagnostics Using Wait Stats
• Reading SQL Server execution plan
Every DBA needs to know how to keep their SQL Server in tip-top condition, and you’ll need skills the covered in this session to do it.

SQL Server Wait Types Everyone Should KnowDean Richards
Many people use wait types for performance tuning, but do not know what some of the most common ones indicate. This presentation will go into details about the top 8 wait types I see at the customers I work with. It will provide wait descriptions as well as solutions.
SQL Server ASYNC_NETWORK_IO Wait Type ExplainedConfio Software
When a SQL Server session waits on the async network io event, it may be encountering issues with the network or with aclient application not processing the data quickly enough. If the wait times for "async network io" are high, review the client application to see if large results sets are being sent to the client. If they are, work with the developers to understand if all the data is needed and reduce the size of result set if possible. Learn tips and techniques for decreasing decrease waits for async_network_io in this presentation.
Uwe Ricken at SQL in the City 2016.
Waits, as they’re known in the SQL Server world, indicate that a worker thread inside SQL Server is waiting for a resource to become available before it can proceed with executing. They’re often a major source of performance issues.
In this session, we’ll walk through an optimal performance troubleshooting process for a variety of scenarios, and illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses of using a waits-only approach to troubleshooting.

Application Performance Troubleshooting 1x1 - Part 2 - Noch mehr Schweine und...rschuppe
Application Performance doesn't come easy. How to find the root cause of performance issues in modern and complex applications? All you have is a complaining user to start with?
In this presentation (mainly in German, but understandable for english speakers) I'd reprised the fundamentals of trouble shooting and have some new examples on how to tackle issues.
Follow up presentation to "Performance Trouble Shooting 101 - Schweine, Schlangen und Papierschnitte"
Slides from data MindsConnect 2018 Conference hosted at Ghelamnco Arena in Ghent by Belgian SQL Server USer Grup. SECDev(OPS) How to embrace your security.
Backup? Who cares! Now and Then? We store our data in the cloud. Somewhere in the Cloud. Which Cloud? Who cares! But we are still SQL Server Professionals, so… are we need backup? Should we use newest opportunities or old methods? Are we going a step further or step back? On my session, I will try to find answers for all of those (and more) questions. Demos, cases, and examples from the world of backup. And of course worst practices.
Our data should be secure. And our environment too. What we can do for maximizing security in a hybrid environment, where SQL Server exist in two forms: premise and cloud. How to organize our job, how to control our data if we use Windows Azure SQL Database - The Cloud Database. physical security, policy-based management, auditing, encryption, federation, access and authorization. All of those subjects will be covered during my session.
On my first session I would to introduce everyone to formerly known SQL Azure (actually Windows Azure SQL Database). Under Tips and Trick session I will show which points, features, compatibility and non-compatibility for SQL Azure are important for DBA's. I will cover functionalities, performance, cost, and sla and security aspects.
After break I will show how we can work with our data in the Cloud using SQL Azure, Blob Storage, what functionality of backup, restore, encryption and availability are available for us, how we can implement hybrid environment and when an why it is (or not) good practice.
And finally I hope we will find few minutes for discussion about Future of the DBA (not only in AD 2016)

If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services. In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Your best time for dreaming … is the best
time for Disaster
Your mobile phone ringing and ringing…
And Your husband / wife say…….
4. 2:15 AM … in a car
What’s happen with my server?
When I made last backup?
Where is my backup?
Have I ever tried to restore?
If yes – I hope that all in a team (about team
soon) remember about (me?)
If not – who can help me NOW?
5. 2:40 AM … in a SERVER ROOM
$#$$@$^^#^&^@!#
Is Windows Server alive?
YES (thanks all saints)
or NOT (damn)
who is responsible for it?
Is my SQL Server alive?
YES (why phones ringing)
or NOT (…)
Why I’m responsible for it?

Backups
about type of backup ( simple rm / full rm)
about place for stored backup data
about backup window
about procedure used for backup
about backup tools
about backup of „backup logs”
about estimated time for executing backup
about REAL TIME of executing backup
10. BACKUP > extract from SOP*
In the request, backup, should include the following information:
• Information about the operating system and application version
for online backup and installed updates for these components
• a file backup policy, in particular:
a number of versions of a file stored
the storage time of the next version of the file
the frequency of execution of such incremental backups with the
proposal of their implementation
• Online Backup Policy
the storage time of a full backup with storage time such an
incremental backup
the time of transaction log files
the frequency of execution of a full backup with the proposal deadline
for its implementation
the frequency of execution of the transaction log backup
• Information about trees directories / files that should be omitted
or included during backup tasks (include / exclude list)
• Number and type / model of physical processors,
• Does the node will use the connection to the SAN to implement backup
11. BACKUP (registry) > extract from SOP*
This register contains information about a backup plan implemented.
Backup file space:
number of versions of a file stored in a backup
number of days that are kept more versions of a file
number of versions of a file stored in the backup system after its removal from
client device
number of days that will store the latest version of the deleted file from the client
device
number of days that will be stored in the archive
Online Backup:
number of backups stored in full backup
number of incremental backups / diff / full stored in the backup
frequency of transaction log backups stored in the backup (for databases)
number of days the backups to be stored on-line backup system
The list of nodes defined in the system backup:
Domain | Node name | IP address of the node
The list of defined backup tasks (called schedule)
name of the task (schedule) | execution time
a period of at which the task is repeated

SQL Server Backup Best Practices | Written on October 17, 2007 by Brent Ozar in SQL
Server >> http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2007/10/backing-up-sql-server-my-own-
mediocre-practices/
I’ve been backing up SQL Servers for almost a decade now, and it’s time to share the
lessons I’ve learned. All of this is my own opinion – your mileage may vary – but I’ll try to
explain the reasoning behind the choices I make. I won’t address log shipping or
snapshots this time around.
• Never back up databases to local disk.
• Back up databases to a fileshare, then back the share up to tape.
• Cost justify the network share with lower licensing costs & simpler backups.
• Back up to a different SAN if possible.
• My sweet spot for the backup array is raid 10 SATA.
• Backup agents like NetBackup and Backup Exec mean giving up scheduling control.
• Do regular fire drill rebuilds and restores.
• Build a standalone restore testbed.
• Keep management informed on restore time estimates.
• Trust no one.

Restore
about type of backup ( simple rm / full rm)
about place for stored backup data
about the procedures of recovery
about estimated time for recovery
about REAL TIME for recovery
about tools for recovery
about Corporate Backup Manager
about password for access to library
14. RESTORE > extract from SOP*
Register for Recovery/Restore/Replacement Tests
This register contains information about the tests and replacement of
part or all of the environment. It consists of the following fields:
the date of commencement and completion of the recovery test
client for which the test was performed recovery test
servers involved in testing and replacement
extent of testing and replacement
person / persons performing the recovery test
person on the client side accepts the correctness of the recovery
test
subsequent to the recovery test
15. BEST PRACTICE FOR SURVIVING DISASTER

Procedures
It is not about stored procedures!!!
It’s about storing procedures with answers for the following:
One piece of paper
How to start restore
Who can help
How to processing a restore
When we can finish
It MUST be simple
16. BEST PRACTICE FOR SURVIVING DISASTER

Roles
Database Administrator
Windows Administrator
Backup Administrator
Network Administrator
Customer Key Account
Manager of division
Data Center Manager
Nightshift Operator - BOFH
Customer Administrator!!

PSO > USO > SLA
PSO Planned System Outages – Planned System
Unavailability
Minimum planned unavailability, due to the need to carry out
modernization work, installing patches, replacement / extension
of hardware,
Agreed/accepted by/with the client and not affecting the
provisions of the HA, and SLA, until
...USO Unplaned System Outages – Unplanned System
Unavailability
an error that prevents a partial or total work environment in a
tangible, measurable customer
resulting in high costs if you need repairs, as well as penalty
payments for non-SLA
