career
trajectory

You have brains in your head
And SQL Skills to boot
You'll soar to great heights
On the Data Platform too
You're on your own,
And you know what you know,
And YOU are the one
who'll decide where to go.

Where Are We?
Typical SQL Server Person
5
6Typical SQL Server Person
• Specialized knowledge
• May have exposure to other infrastructure or
development tools
• Usually reports to Operations (not Development)
• Often one of the “last stops” in deployment chain
Typical SQL Server Person 7
SQL (DDL & DML)

8MCSA SQL 2012\2014
• 70-461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014
• 70-462: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014
Databases
• 70-463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft
SQL Server 2012/2014
What’s coming… 9
• Data production is accelerating– Est .79ZB in 2009
– Est 7.9ZB in 2015
– Est 35ZB in 2020 (44 times greater than 2009)
• Data is diversifying– Relational Data
– Big (Size) Data
– Fast Data
– Dark Data
– Lost Data
– New Data
DevOps
Philosophy, not Methodology
10
A (Very) Brief Overview 11
• DevOps is focused on delivering quality, faster.
• Philosophical approach, not methodological– Automation, infrastructure as code, continuous deployment
– Emphasis on communication; silo reduction
• Born out of Agile, several innovators contributing– Patrick Debois & Andrew Clay Shafer – Agile Infrastructure (Agile 08)
– John Allspaw & Paul Hammond – 10+ Deploys Per Day (Velocity 09)
– Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, & George Spafford – The Phoenix Project

Key Takeaways 15
• DevOps is rooted in a sense of continuous improvement
• People over tools
• Reduce silos by focusing on shared goals, not
technology
The Cloud Paradigm
Infrastructure, Platform, Software
16
What do we mean by “The Cloud”?
17
• Trendy marketing term?
• Network hosting?
• Internet connected services?
• Distributed, scalable, shared computing resources?

Cloud Paradigm 22
Ideal System Architecture 24
• Scalable
• Resilient to Failure (Redundant)
• Service-Oriented Architecture
• Automated Monitoring, Configuration and Build
• “Infrastructure As Code”
• Completely Automatic
– Code checked in -> new build
– Unit & regression testing
– User acceptance testing
– Continuous Integration
– Dependent on “infrastructure as code”
• Micro-releases (100 deployments per day)
• No rollbacks
Ideal Release Process 25
Ideal Operations 26
• Automatic instrumentation (Logging)
– Long Term Storage
– Predictive Analytics
• Automatic Error Logging & Alerting
– Respond to Every Error
– On-call Rotation includes Developers
• Automatic Scaling
– Scale Up
– Scale Down
• “Zero Maintenance”
Ideal Data Architecture 28

Available Partition
Tolerant

Impact on Careers
Future Prognostications
33
Current Trends 35
• Companies are recognizing the value of different kinds of
data, and an increased need for analytics.
– Adoption of Big Data technologies is on the rise
– Data Science jobs are increasing
– The Internet (or Fog) of Things is coming.
• Operational methodologies like Agile and DevOps are
pushing companies toward the Cloud Paradigm.
Current Trends 36
• The Cloud Paradigm with its separation of duties is
causing companies to realign resources.
– Infrastructure Teams
– Platform Teams
– Software Teams
• Operational technologies (virtualization, scripting) are
allowing organizations to scale out computing resources
with fewer human resources.

My Predictions 37
• Increased segregation between Development and
Administration roles.
• Number of development jobs will increase
– Diversity of data platform.
– Need for integration.
– Data mining and analysis skills.
• Number of administrative jobs will decrease
– Infrastructure as code, scripting, virtualization
– Product specific specialists for initial configuration
What does this mean for YOU? 38
• Choose your path: Development or Administration
• Developers have opportunities for breadth:
– Big Data (Hadoop, HDInsight)
– Data Science (Statistics, R)
– Visualizations (Reporting, Power BI)
• Administrators have opportunities for depth:
– Always On
– Infrastructure & Platform impacts
– Scripting & configurations
