This is especially true when it comes the Cloud regardless we are using IaaS or PaaS. One great tool to use in such scenario is certainly terraform and I introduced it during the last PowerSaturday pre-conference named “DBA modern competencies”. Installation paradigms in the cloud differ from what we usually do on-premises either…

But migrate a database from on-premise to the Azure Cloud is an operation that we don’t deal with every day. As a reminder, Azure SQL Database is a relational database-as-a-service (DBaaS) which gives the ability to manage your databases directly from the Cloud with the performance of your choose, reliability, security and…

Azure SQL Database is based on the latest stable version of Microsoft SQL Server Database Engine. We have the choose between 2 purchasing models: a vCore-based purchasing model and a DTU-based (Database Throughput Unit) purchasing model. 3 Deployment options possible: single database: has its own set of…
During the last DevOps Day in Geneva, I presented a sample of our CI implementation related to our MSSQL DMK maintenance product. It was definitely a very good experience for me and good opportunity to get feedback from DevOps community as well. During the session I explained our CI pipeline includes SQL Server containers both on AKS (K8s as managed service in Azure) and Windocks. I got questions from some of attendees who asked me…

Last but not least, today was mainly dedicated to demos and customer cases. It started with the global stream presenting some OpenText applications like Core for Quality: An application developed with AppWorks and integrated to Magellan. It was meant to manage quality issues and connected to Documentum in order to link issues with SOP documents. In the different demos we saw the integration of these SaaS applications in OT2 and their responsiveness (drag and drop…
Day 2 of OTEW, we followed the global stream this morning which was taking most of the points from yesterday. But we had the pleasure to have a session from Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist, Futurist and popularizer of science. He wrote several books about physics and how he sees the future. He sees us in the next 20 years ultra connected with internet lenses, the Moore’s law will collapse in 2025 where it will…
