Today I presented the final ramp up session entitled “Virtualization for SQL Server DBAs 499” for the SQL PASS Virtualization Virtual Chapter. It’s the last session in a four-part where the goal is to take the DBA from knowing nothing about infrastructure and virtualization technologies up to where they can identify specific issues with performance and availability and work directly with the VM administrators – in their nomenclature – to get the VMs stable, highly available, and tuned for maximum performance. This last session worked on common performance troubleshooting scenarios and the quick hits for remediation from both perspectives. The previous session recordings (101-301) are available on my videos page here.
The slides from this session are available for you to download and review. Tom Norman has this 499 session recorded so watch away!
Special thanks goes to Matt Penny (@salisbury_matt) for an absolutely awesome SketchNote!
Next it’s on to special topics! In January I will be working with the chapter to present an updated version of my Summit 2014 session – “How to Right-Size Your SQL Server VMs“, and after that, I’m going to be working on a session to demonstrate configuring and using cluster and Availability Groups in a virtual environment. If you have any special topics that you’d like to learn more about and/or see demos of, please let me know! I’m always looking for new ideas for topics, and if it matters to you, it’s guaranteed to matter to someone else, and I’m willing to get a webinar put together to make it happen.
