Oh, I thought that was my merch. Oh, man I was too excited Ruins are the following Park Village Eastfield boys dove coats and see the Grove their most famous rapper is M loose who recently Racked in 400k plus views on his own channel with his song.  Their main beefs are with black gang Park Village See the Grove 10 side fire town, etc.   They are allied with fire town and s-block and they have rivalry with Glenworth boys now back in the day pre-2010 dove city were known as gang green or the pendifold crew now on the 24th of August 2010 Marlon Morris who was a pendifold crew member was stabbed to death by Jamie Price from heath town Which is what fire town was known as back then Jamie Price was given a minimum 21-year jail centers for the murder Jamie Price was a son of dance music star Goldie who was a music producer and DJ who initially gained exposure for his work as a graffiti artist Goldie became well-known for his pioneering role as a musician in the 1990s UK jungle drum and bass and breakbeat hardcore scenes now Father of one Marlon Morris was stabbed four times once fatally in the heart due to bitter rivalries between the pendifold crew and the heath town based fire town gang now Benjamin who goes by the street name Shredder was said to have seriously injured a member of Price's gang Leading to an increase in tension between pendifold and heath town gangs one community source familiar with the gangs of Wolverhampton Said historically the main rivalries in terms of gangs were between heath town and Park Village a lot of it is about Respect issues, but there's obviously a drug aspect to it as well people from heath town would come over to Park Village and throw their weight around and they were spats with people from Whitmarines as well Pendifold didn't really appear on a map historically But Shredder got stronger he appears to have acquired his own gang and have decided that they were going to stamp their mark on the World every time they came into contact There would be a beating or stabbing or shots fired and the murder of Marlon Morris was the tipping point of that Who knows what the beef between heath town and pendifold is it's likely to be around respect Sources say the rise of the pendifold crew can be traced back to the gangland murder of Wolverhampton footballer Kevin Nunes in 2002 Nunes was shot dead by a rival gang of drug dealers including senior figures in the heath town gangs now on the 19th of March 2011 Park Village Gang members were scheming for the revenge on one of their own members being beaten up earlier that day by Firetown members Nathan Hamilton a Park Village member walked into the bedroom where five other members were present and brought a shotgun Sadly firearms aren't just a danger to your enemies if not used carefully Accidents can occur nonetheless a tragedy took place where Nathan accidentally shot his own member dead Raheem Heinz Thomas was shot in the chest as his twin brother watched it unfold Raheem's twin brother Raymond told police in a statement given a day after the shooting Nathan came into the room of a bag which was about three feet long then I saw him with the shotgun in his hand He was sitting opposite Raheem and I was sat next to my brother.  I tried to pick him up He couldn't walk I turned him around and dragged him out of the house onto the grass Then I laid him down on the grass outside. I can definitely say that Nathan walked into the room of a bag I saw him unzip the bag I can say 100% he had the bag the shot teenager was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead His twin brother Friendly fire is insane Said in the statement after leaving hospital I went back to the house and up to the bedroom I could see blood everywhere and the bag I had seen was no longer dead Roman Heinz Thomas sat in the witness box While the statement was read and consistently answered question about his content From both the prosecutor and defense lawyer John Cooper QC With the phrase I don't know But he did admit that the statement had been read to him after it was made And that he had signed every page of it When Mr Cooper asked him Did he make it clear to the police that whatever Nathan did It was an accident The witness replied yes Nathan Hamilton pled not guilty to manslaughter and possessing a firearm With intent to endanger life Huh? Well you are you going to jail Guilty What are you talking about? Don't put a whole statement of you signed every page And then all of it However, a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court found him guilty After hearing how the teenager died the result of a single gunshot wound to the chest Nathan Hamilton, 29 years old from Valley Road, Wolverhampton Was jailed for 12 years at Stafford Crown Court Detective Inspector Phil Asgrip from West Midlands Police said This whole case demonstrates in the worst possible way How dangerous firearms can be Especially when they are in the wrong hands Now on the 24th of April 2014 Fats, a non-Glenworth boys shooter And another member were looking for ops in the Eastfield area Two Eastfield boy members in Kush and KG were spotted Fats managed to hit both with one bullet Collateral damage Fats even brags about this event in a drill track where he says In May 2015 I'm not going to lie, that is negative First of all, the lyric, but that is crazy He got a two for one special No disrespect, but he got a two for one He got a buy one get one free, it's crazy 2015, a huge bro happened between fire town gang members Which included the likes of Evil, real name Nathaniel Nugent And Shanky, real name Shamar Faircloth One Glenworth boys member was clutching and waving around a hammer When he was chased by a 19 year old Evil Who was clutching a knife himself And was wearing the distinctive red flash of the fire town gang Along with Shanky, chased the boy into the foyer of the Britannia Where he was involved in a scuffle The Glenworth boy was later found to have suffered a stab wound To the chest that required five stitches Camera footage also captures Evil and Shanky Leaving the scene after the attack Evil, age 19, from Clive Road, red ditch Well his nickname is Evil He's not trying to make it out of nowhere, he just He's cooling the hood of the nicknamed Evil Chased the boy with the hammer into the hotel Pleaded guilty to possession of a knife and affray And was ordered to be detained in a young offender's institution For two years, Shanky, also 19 Agreed to be bound over for 12 months in the sum of £200 at an earlier hearing The boy with the hammer admitted possessing of an offensive weapon Assault an affray and received an 18 month youth rehabilitation order Under supervision and 8 month night time curfew In 2017, Dal City gang leader Shredder Real name Scott Benjamin accidentally shot himself in the bedroom of a house In Cyprus Road, Walsall The 13 year old serious injuries required House in Cyprus Road, Walsall The 13 year old serious injuries required surgery Which is said to have involved the removal of a testicle In court, he admitted to having too soon of shotguns Blinking yourself is crazy During the incident in which he shot himself in the groin The court also heard he received a 6 year prison sentence In 2011, when the police found the pistol loaded with 7 bullets Hidden under his girlfriend's bed Now on the 29th of May 2017 DA Compone, who was an S block member Was viciously attacked by 3 fire town members They were armed with a gun and had knives Luckily, the gun jammed However, it didn't stop them from stabbing DA Compone The 15 year old was found with stab wounds On old Falling's lane at 1pm He remained in critical condition of hospital For some time, the attackers being 15, 16 and 17 themselves Were all later arrested On the 26th of January in 2018 Black Ain't nobody getting away in this story Everybody's convicted Gang members including M.

Hello, welcome to theCUBE's presentation of the AWS Showcase Season 1 Episode 2 with the ISV Startups Partners. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We're joined by Morgan McClain, Director of Product Management at Splunk and Danielle Greshok, who is the Director of ISV Solution Architects at AWS. Welcome to the show, thanks for coming on. Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. Great to see both of you, both CUBE alumni, but the Splunk AWS relationship has been doing very, very well. You guys are doing great business, enabling this app revolution and cloud scale has been going extremely well. So let's get into it. You guys are involved in a lot of action around application revolution, around open telemetry and open source. So let's get into it. What's the latest? Well, I'll just jump in first, obviously last year, not last year, but in 2020, we launched the AWS Distro for Open Telemetry. The idea being essentially, we're able to bring in data from partners, from infrastructure running on AWS, from apps running on AWS to really be able to increase observability across all cloud assets at your entire cloud platform. So, Morgan, if you want to chime in on how Splunk has worked on it. Yeah, I mean, open telemetry is super exciting. Obviously, there's a lot of partnership points between Amazon and Splunk, but open telemetry is probably one of them that's the most visible to people who aren't already, maybe using these two products together. And so as Daniel mentioned, Amazon has their own distribution of open telemetry, Splunk has their own as well. And of course, there's the main open source distribution that everybody knows and loves. Just for our viewers, just for clarity's sake, the separate distributions are fundamentally very similar to almost identical to what's offered in the open source space, but they come pre-configured and they come with support guarantees from each company, meaning that you can actually get full support for an open source project, which is really fantastic for customers. And as Daniel mentioned, it's a great demonstration of the alliance between Splunk and Amazon web services. For example, the AWS distro, when you use it, can export data to Amazon CloudWatch, various Amazon backed open source initiatives like Prometheus and others, and to Splunk Observability Cloud and to Splunk Enterprise. So it's a place that we've worked very closely together and it's something that we're very excited about. So Morgan, I want to get your take on the product management side and also how products are built these days. One of the big things we're seeing in cloud is that open source has been the big enabler for a lot of refactoring. And you got multiple distributions, but the innovation's on top of that. Can you talk about how you see the productization of new innovations with open source as you guys go into this market? Because this is the new dynamic with cloud. We're seeing examples all over the place. I see Amazon's going the next level with what they're doing and that open source. It's not a one game for all of it. You can have mix and match. Take us through the product angle. And in many ways, this is just another wave of the same thing, right? Like, if you think back in time, we all use, it's still used in many cases, virtual machines, most of those are based on Linux, right? Another large open source project. And so open source software has been accelerating innovation in the cloud space and in the computing space generally for a very long time, which is fantastic. Our excitement with something like open telemetry comes from both the project's capabilities but also what we can do with it. So for those who aren't already familiar with open telemetry, open telemetry allows you to extract really critical system telemetry application signals and everything else you need from your own applications, from your services, from your infrastructure, from everything that you're running in a cloud environment. You can then send that data to another location for processing. And so John, you asked like, how does this accelerate innovation? What does it unlock? Well, the insight you can gain from this data means you can become so much more efficient as a development organization. You can make your applications so much more effective because when you send that data to something like Splunk Observability Cloud, to something like Amazon CloudWatch, do various other solutions on the market, they can give you deep, deep insight into your application's performance, to its structure. They can help you reduce outages. And so it's very, very powerful because it allows organization to use tools like Splunk, like Amazon, like other things to innovate so much more effectively. Danielle, can you comment on the AWS side because this is again, another big point. You guys are going next level and you're starting to see patterns in the ISV world, certainly on the architecture side of partners doing things differently now on top of what they've already done. Could you share how AWS is helping customers accelerate? Well, just as Morgan was talking about what open telemetry provides, you can see how from a partnership perspective, this is so valuable, right? But what the partner team here at AWS is in the business of doing is really enabling customer choice, right? And having that ability to plug in and pull data from different sources, post it to different sources, make it available for visibility across all of your resources is very powerful. And it's something from the partner community that we really value because we want customers to be able to select best of breed solutions, what works for their business, which businesses are different and they may have different needs. And that also fosters that true innovation. A small company is going to develop and release software a lot differently than a large enterprise. And so being able to support something like open telemetry just enables that for all different kinds of customers. Morgan, add to that because the velocity of releases, certainly operational, stability is key. Every time security, uptime, these are top concerns. And there's data too, you got the data in here. So you got a lot of data moving around, a lot of value, what's your take? Yeah, so I'll speak with some specifics. So a challenge that developers have had for years, when you're developing large services, which you can now do with platforms like AWS, it's very easy to go develop huge deployments. But a challenge they have is you go and build a mess. And I've worked earlier in my career on web services and I remember in one of the first orgs I was in, I was one of the five people who really understood our e-commerce stack. And so I would get dragged into all these meetings and I'd have to go draw the 50 services we had and how they interacted and the changes that were made in the last week. And without observability tools, like Splunk Observability Cloud, like the ones offered by Amazon, like the ones that are backed by the data that comes with open telemetry, organizations basically rely on people like this to go draw out their deployments so they understand what it is they've built. Well, as you can imagine, this crimps your development velocity because most of your engineers, most of your tech leads, most of everyone else don't actually understand what it is they've built, what it is they're running because they need that global context. You get something like open telemetry and the solutions that consume the data from it and suddenly now all your developers have that context, all of them when they're adding functionality to a service or they're updating their infrastructure can actually understand how it interacts with the rest of the broader application. This lets you speed up your time to development. This lets you ship more safely, more securely. And finally, when things do go wrong, which will be less frequent, but when they do go wrong, you can fix them super rapidly. If I'm a customer, let me ask a question. If I'm a customer and I say, okay, I love AWS, I love Splunk. I love open telemetry. I got to have open source as technology innovation is happening. What's the integration? What are some of the standards? Can you take us through how that's working together with you guys as a shared platform? Yeah, so let's take the Amazon distribution of open telemetry or even the Splunk one. One of the first things they do is they include all of the receivers, all of the sort of data capture components that you need out of the box for platforms like AWS, right? And so right away, you get that power and flexibility where you're getting all access to all of these data sources, right? And so that's part of that partnership. And additionally, once the data comes into open telemetry, you can now send that to various different data sources, including as Danielle mentioned to multiple at the same time. So you can use whatever tools you want. And so when you talk about like what the partnership is actually providing to you as a customer, and still this is just within the context of open telemetry. Obviously there's a much broader partnership between these two companies than just that. But within the context of open telemetry, it means you can download one of these distributions. It's fully supported, it works with both solutions and everything is just great, right? You don't need to go fiddle with that out of the box. To be clear, open telemetry is a batteries included project, right? This means that even the standard distributions of open telemetry include the components you need. You have to go directly reference them and ensure that they're packaged in there, but they exist, right? But the nice thing about these distributions is that it's done, it's out of the box. You don't even have to worry about is something missing or do I need to include new exporters or new receivers? It's all there, it's pre-configured, it just works. And if something goes wrong, you have a support contract, you pick up the phone, you talk to someone, you get it fixed. Tanya, what's the Amazon side? Because agility and scale is one of the highlights you guys are seeing. How does this tie into that? And how are you guys working backwards from the customers to support the partners? Well, I think just to add on essentially to what Morgan said, I think that AWS is a cloud platform, has always really had a focus on developers. And we talk a lot about how AWS and Amazon as a whole really embraces this continuous integration and continuous deployment methods inside of our organization. And we talk about services and observability is a huge part of that. The only way that you're actually able to release hundreds, thousands of times a day like Amazon does is by having an observability platform to be able to measure metrics, see changes in the environment, to be able to roll back if you need to, and to be able to quickly mitigate any challenges or anything that goes wrong at any part in the process. And so when we preach that to our customers, I think it's something that we do that because we live it and breathe it. And so things such as open telemetry and such as the products that Splunk builds, those are also ways in which we believe our customers can achieve that. Yeah, and we can, I mean, as I mentioned before, this partnership goes well beyond open telemetry, right? And so if you go use like Splunk Enterprise, Enterprise Cloud, Splunk Observability Cloud and you're running on AWS, you have excellent support and excellent visibility into your Amazon infrastructure, into the services and applications you've deployed on top of that infrastructure. We try and give you, and I think we do succeed in this, we give you the best possible experience, the deepest possible visibility into what it is you've deployed on AWS so that you can be even more successful as a business and so that you can be even more successful on AWS as a platform. Yes, this is a great conversation, Morgan. You mentioned the early days of web services, AWS stands for Amazon web services, built on web services. So interesting throwback there, but made me think about the days of the early days of web services. If you look at data, what's going on now that the top partners in AWS, you're seeing a lot of people thinking about data differently, they're refactoring, a lot of machine learning, a lot of AI going on at scale. So then you got cloud native, things like Kubernetes and these new services being stood up and teared down with automation. A whole new operating model's coming. And so when you think about observability, the importance of it. I mean, can you share your perspective on this whole nother level? I mean, this, I always say the whole nother level sounds cliche, but it is next level. I mean, this is like completely different. What's your reaction to that? There's a ton of factors here, right? So as you point out, companies are totally shifting how they use their cloud infrastructure. And part of this you see during their cloud migrations, the part of it you see after, and they're shifting from their sort of stateful VMs that they may have had in the past to infrastructure that they tear down and put up like regularly. And there's a lot more automation. With this comes, as I mentioned before, complexity, right? And also with this comes more and more businesses becoming even more reliant on their digital infrastructure. And so not having observability into your applications, into your services, into your infrastructure, to me is akin to running a business, say running a large warehousing or distribution company, but not having any idea where you're shipping products or where things are. Or not having any accounting or CFO, right? Like businesses become so digital. Business is so reliant on technology. And that's unlocked a ton of new things. It's great. But not having visibility into how that technology works or what it is that's deployed or how to fix it is akin to having no visibility to anything else in your business. It's nuts. And so observability is super, super critical, particularly for customers who are adopting this new wave of cloud technologies on platforms like AWS. Daniel, on your side too, you're enabling this new capability so that businesses can do it. The part is to, we're calling it a super cloud. We've been calling it a super cloud kind of dynamic where new things are happening with the data and you guys are evolving with that. Can you share what you're seeing on your side as your partners start to go to the next level? What are you guys doing?  Well, we always talk about, you know, what has happened with data in the last couple of years, which the cloud is really enabled around, you know, variety and velocity. And there's one other view that's escaping me right now. But essentially, you know, all of this data is coming in and providing the ability for us to make better decisions, to build better products, to provide better experiences for customers. And so I just think, you know, the open telemetry project, as well as what Splunk is doing is just another example of how we're taking this massive amount of data and being able to provide better experiences and outcomes for customers. And you guys have been working long together for a long time, Splunk. And it's been a great partners for going back here. I've been covering it on theCUBE and SiliconANGLE. So we know that. It changes key observability. Can you imagine a company without a CFO? Morgan, I mean, that just boggles your mind. But that's kind of what it's like right now. So, and the people who take advantage of that are winning, right? So it's like, that's the key. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, even in my own career, right? I've moved between different companies. And I remember when I joined Google in particular, which is where I worked at previously, I was very impressed with their internal observability tools. And I'm certain, you know, I haven't worked at Amazon. I'm certainly, I assume inside of Amazon, they're excellent as well as a lot of the large, large cloud firms these days. But it was so refreshing going from an organization where if we had some kind of outage or something went wrong, there were like a very small set of people who could actually understand what was going on. And then you would just have to manually dive through logs and correlate requests manually between services. It's very challenging. And so when things went wrong, they went wrong for a long, long time. And so the companies that understood this even in the past are already very successful as a result. I think now the rest of the industry is really in the midst of adopting these observability practices and the tools that are required to implement them. Because you're right, otherwise your development velocity slows down. Now you're getting out competed by your competition. And then when you have a problem, it blows up for ages. And once again, your competition can take advantage of it. And can you just summarize the observability piece relative to the open telemetry? Where is that going to go? Where do you see that evolving? Obviously open source is growing like crazy. We all know that. But open telemetry in particular and open source, because this is a big hot area. Yes, so to set the stage for people, open telemetry unlocks observability in many ways. As I mentioned earlier, open telemetry is how you capture data out of your application. It doesn't process it. It's not a replacement for something like Amazon CloudWatch or any of Splunk's products. But it's how we get the data out of your system, which is a remarkably difficult problem. I won't dive into it today. But those who work in this space are very aware that's why this project exists and it's so big that actually extracting information, metrics, logs, distributed traces, profiles, everything else from your applications and from your infrastructure is very, very difficult. So for open telemetry, where it's going is just continually getting better at extracting more types of data from more sources and doing that more effectively for people in a more standardized way. That will unlock firms like Splunk, firms like Amazon and others to better process this data. In terms of where that's going, the sky's the limit, right? Like everyone's familiar with APM, people are familiar with infrastructure monitoring. But there's a lot more capabilities coming there for security analytics, for network performance monitoring, for getting down all the way to single lines of code in your application, how they impact everything. There's just so much power that's coming to the industry right now. And I'm really excited to see where things go in the next few years. And Danielle, you're in the middle of all the action as the solution architects really set the stage for their companies and the ISVs.  What are the patterns you're seeing and what are some of the best practices that you're doing to help companies? Right, so I think summarizing our entire conversation, the big things that we're seeing in the market is essentially more and more companies are looking to move to a continuous deployment and a continuous integration environment. And they're looking to innovate faster and spend less time hot-patching or hot-fixing their environments. And they want to spend more time innovating. And so, the patterns that we're seeing is what I see and what I actually experience firsthand at Reinvent when I talk to probably over 40 or 50 ISVs is customers want to know in their environment where are their changes, where are their security vulnerabilities, where are their data changes and what are customers really experiencing, whether it's latency, poor experience throughout their products, those types of things. So security data and observability are just key to all of that experience. And that's what we're definitely seeing as patterns, what we're seeing with our customers and also what value our ISVs are providing in that space. That's awesome. And the other thing I would observe is that there's more of an integration story going on around joint projects, whether it's open source. Absolutely. Because this is where we want to get that services connected. And it's mutual beneficial. I mean, this is really another new kind of interoperable cloud scale. And if I could say one thing else there, I think that a lot of the customers who are trying to move into the cloud now are maybe not technology-forward companies and they really need that solution. And that's very important. I think COVID has pushed a lot of companies into the cloud, maybe very quickly. And that has been something else we've observed in the market. So solutions and full solutions between ISVs and ISVs or ISVs and AWS is just becoming more and more common thing that we see. And you mentioned, John, in the open source space as well. Like we're certainly from Amazon and Spluck. So we're talking a lot about those. But there's a lot of other firms involved in projects like open telemetry. And I think it's very endearing, very heartening to see how well they cooperate in this community and how when their interests are aligned, how effective they can be. And it's been very exciting to work in the space and very pleasant, honestly, to see everything come together with this huge set of customers and partners. Yeah, the pleasant surprise of the pandemic has been that people come into the cloud and they like it and they say, this works. And then they double down on it. Then they realize there's more there and they refactor. So you're seeing real examples of that. So this is a great discussion, great success story, congratulations. Morgan Danielle, great partnership between Splunk and AWS. We've been following for a long time. And again, this highlights this whole, another level of integrating super cloud kind of experience where people are getting more capabilities and doing more together. So great stuff. And this is just one facet of that, right? Like there's all the other connections of like Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Security Analytics, products and others. It's a deep, deep partnership between these firms. Yeah, and the companies that innovate and get that new capability are going to have an advantage. And you're seeing us, right? And it's awesome. And great stuff. Thank you for coming on and sharing that insight. Thank you. Congratulations, Morgan on over there at Splunk. Great stuff. And Danielle, thanks for coming on and sharing the AWS perspective. Thanks for having me. And you guys are going to the next level and you're moving up the stack as they say, all good stuff for customers. Thanks. Thank you. Okay, this is season one, episode two of the AWS partner showcase. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


Hello, everyone. My name is Francisco Munoz Alvarez. I'm the founder and CEO of CloudDB. I'm here today to talk about does cloud mean the end of the DBA and about the evolution of the DBA career with the help of emerging technologies. A little bit about myself. As I mentioned, my name is Francisco Munoz Alvarez. I have been working with database technologies basically for 30 years now, just over 30 years. And most of this time working with Oracle technologies, but also working with many emerging technologies, other RDBMS such as SQL Server, MySQL, open source databases as MySQL 2 and many others, Postgres, and also a cloud-based environment with basically all cloud vendors around the globe at the moment. And with regard to Oracle, I have been working and also been a beta test since the Oracle version 7. I have won a few awards around the world, including an Oracle Excellence Award, Oracle Magazine Editor Choice Award, and also Oracle Ambassador and Oracle ACE Director. I have presented over 460 sessions at 48 countries around the world already. I have been traveling speaking in conferences. I've been invited for the past 12 years. My blog is oracleanset.com or oracleanset.net or oracleanset.org. All these domains take to my blog. My email, if you have any questions, is alvarez at clouddb.solutions. And my Twitter handler is FCO Munoz. You can contact me via email or Twitter. It's not a problem. Also, please feel free to contact me or follow me on Twitter. I always promote free documentation, tutorials, webinars, and things happening about the database technology and cloud technology around the world. In the right corner, you have my book, Oracle Database Talks, See Back Up and Recover Survival Guide. It was the first book to be published about this topic with Oracle Launch, the version 12c, and also right now writing a book for 2A Press about the modern DBA, and that will be coming in the next few months. I don't like to talk a little bit much about marketing, but I would like to just say that my company, CloudDB, is a global professional and management services not only for Oracle Technologies, it's for most of the RDBMS, no secret environment, open source databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, and so on. We have many community leaders working with us as members of our team. We have a few workplaces, ACE directors, Oracle Certified Masters, Microsoft MPPs, Microsoft MCMs, some AWS solutions, architects, developers, and so on. That means we have a very good knowledge about many technologies and many senior people and community leaders working with us. Our main office is in Brisbane, Australia, headquarters. We have offices also in Sydney, part in Auckland, New Zealand, and San Francisco, United States. We also have clients all around the globe that we support, we really follow the sun, and that includes Singapore, Korea, Japan, and Russia, Kazakhstan, India, Europe, United States, and so on. And we also have a group of employees supporting these environments from our around the globe also. But saying that, let's go straight to the point of what we're going to be talking today. My main goal today is just talk about database technologies around especially for DBAs, database administrators, and talk a little bit starting with the evolution of IT, the past, the present, and the future of the database career and what's next and finish with a full review and conclusion. Let's talk about the evolution of a career. You will see many changes. I have seen many changes since I started. I basically didn't find myself with the cartoon in the middle. When I started on my careers in the in the late 80s, I was like that cartoon very skin and young, and now I'm a little bit fatter and older, and my computer of course went the other way. But IT have evolved a lot since I started. As per example, if we start talking about evolution and IT in general, we will see that everything started with the human computers back in the 40s to the 70s. Even a movie recently was released showing the history about this when basically we have the human computers working for AdNASA and they were very scared with the changes on their profession with the implementation of IBM, the first IBM mainframe that's going to be the supercomputer that will replace other people. And that was the start of the main evolution of the computer systems. Then with the general mindframes starting to replace the human computers between the 60 to the 80s, we talk a lot about IBM and the big iron. When we talk about that, you can see in this picture just the big fuss with the delivery of a 5 megabytes hard drive from IBM back in 1956. You could see how big was the technology, the hardware, and how the things were changing. If you take a look on how the size of you have a 1 terabyte external hard drive is very simple and even the pendrives. Even with the mainframes we have that kind of work with the tapes. We have the operators working and maintaining these environments working from the consoles and that was very frequent and common to a lot of people upon us at the moment. Then in the 80s we have the distributed technology being being introduced and it starts to separate that towards between people and computers. We start having our terminals to be introduces that we started to work, separated we need to be in the work and the consoles anymore. That was a big change in a big step, especially with the computers starting to connect as a multi-layer that we have the PCs connected to the central computer and so on. But if we take a look at the evolution of IT, since it started in the 40s up to today in 2020, we will see how the changes that happened. We started with the human computers, moving to the mainframes, then moving to the client servers. Then we started with the private cloud and other people ask me, Francisco, what do you mean with private cloud? In 2010 we have a boom and a rush to the people to start virtualizing their own data centers. When you virtualize your own data centers, basically what you achieve is create your own private cloud. That was the start of the cloud technology, but inside your own firewalls, inside your own data centers. That was the boom that started with the virtual era back in 2010. Then we started with other companies started to push, especially with AWS as the big initial push to implement public cloud. A lot of people started to play around and started working with what we call hybrid cloud, having most of the work and the workload on their private clouds and some they were playing with non-production environments, especially in the public cloud, creating what we call hybrid clouds, a mix of stuff on-premises and other stuff in the public cloud. By 2020, we expect that most of the people will be using a public cloud and stop to using most of their things on private cloud or hybrid clouds. That's basically what most of the people is expecting to happen. And that's why it's something that we need to take a look and see how the things evolve. If we just give a step back and take a look on the evolution of IT and put now my shoes as a database administrator that I have done for most of the time. If you step back, you will remember in the 80s, a lot of changing for developers is starting to work that way too. Most of the developers are new in that time. We're working with technologies such as, let's say, COBOL. And with the two IK coming, a lot of things, a lot of the other technologies starting to be implemented. In that moment, a lot of people start working with something new called SQL SQL. And the people were saying now, that's not the future, COBOL is. And that people, they stay working with the old technologies. They become the dinosaurs with the future, if we compare what's happening next, because they didn't want it to evolve and they started slowly to extinguish and be extinct. And that's something that a lot of people is asking, would that happen to DBAs also? Because with implementation and evolution of IT, with implementation of cloud technologies, autonomous database environments such as people called RDS of Oracle Autonomous Databases will do that factor of career. And that is a big, big, big question that we have and many people is doing. If we take a look in the past as a measure as me being a DBA, you will see that when I started my career back in the late 80s, I started as a measure as a developer. When we started working with Oracle Databases at that moment, we not even knew that a database administrator was required. We're basically assuming that technology was just running the background by itself and we just need to keep developing programs and working and that's it. In that time, I was working with technologies such as Oracle Forms, Oracle Report, Oracle Case, Oracle Menu, and so on. And basically, with the time we discovered the database are efficient, but they're not that efficient, that they need someone to maintain that technology properly to ensure the availability, recoverability of the data and allow the things run smoothly. And that's when I started to work as a DBA. I was the first DBA from Brazil, one of the first DBAs of Latin America. I was also the first Oracle Certified Master from Latin America and I was a member of the first team to introduce Oracle in that moment to Brazil. And in that time, when I was working as a DBA, it was something very simple. We're just working with one or two databases, very small ones. The main issues were that as a DBA, I was working at different times of the teams because most of the work that I was able to do back up different augmentations and so on. We need to be done with the database down, that means at night and weekends and that's what I was working with. Then as a DBA, we start to see a lot of changes that was happening and new technologies were introduced, especially if your database administrator starts to see if you are just giving us a reference a few things with Oracle. We started having things as re-application cluster, clusterization is starting to be implemented, software to manage the storage as ASM, autonomy storage management is starting to be implemented, monitoring and managing tools, graphic tools that allow you to do things more easily instead to know the common line interface and know how to do the things by yourself. A lot of things is starting to be implemented that change the way your career was going, especially if you think, another thing that with the years you were supposed to learn was learn how the applications work, how the interact with the database, that way when an issue happens you know how it happens. We start to become more architect than a database only. We start to become CIS admin, network admin, user admin and many other things because we start getting a lot more responsibility. Even with database technologies itself, many companies, especially managers, start to acquire new products, new softwares, new applications without paying attention to the database technology in the background. Then you start ending up with order database to manage a SQL service, progress, MySQL and so on. When we raise our hands to complain, look, I'm an Oracle DBA and this is not Oracle databases or I'm a SQL DBA and this is not a SQL database. Why I need to look after?  Then the things are starting to grow and grow with more responsibilities it starts to be added to our profession as a database administrator. With the present, a lot of changes start to be implemented in our career. If you're taking consideration with the implementation of cloud technologies, automation, so many different things are starting to be used that a lot of people think that our professionals start to deviate it and we are becoming, as I mentioned, I'll give as an example before with developers with COBOL, we are going close to extinction and we are the next dinosaurs. Basically in the technology world and I can tell that as a reference that could be true in some level but that's not in my opinion. If you pay attention with AWS, they have implemented RDS and a lot of people think, oh, my company is starting to use the RDS, they will out manage itself and DBAs will not be required, oh my gosh, I need to start looking for a new job or start to change or evolve or merging in something else different. My personal experience with RDS is I love RDS. Why? Because I'm making more money, I have more work supporting RDS environments than never before. Why? Because this technology was supposed to come to replace most of the DBA work but that's what we're supposed to do but that's not what is actually happening. If you take a look on what they do basically, they are supposed to be locked, supposed to be managed by itself but they limited so much the things happening around what you can do that performance is not always as expected or always easy to manage as it was done on premises or as you can do when using something as infrastructure as a service that you can basically fully deploy in the cloud your applications, your databases but you have a full control of everything. You still have an access to the wire so still have an access to everything you need it but with RDS not. You now have limited database accounts, you have parameters, limitations of what you can set and do and that now you need to you require a special skill set to manage that environment and to make that be more efficient and the amount of people available in the market that know what to do and how to manage that kind of environment. It's not that many people available that have that knowledge that means now you'll become specialized on that and you can make more money and you'll become even more essential than before. That's something that need to be taken in consideration about that kind of technologies. I had a session that was given for many years called tips and best practices for DBAs and one of my tips was of most importance after backup backup and backup always do a backup before a change always do a backup after a change it was automation. Automated everything you can automate it do it because you have more important things to do it. If you cannot automate something delegate that's why you have a junior DBAs and other people that can look after the environment for you because again you have more important things to do. Most of the issues that management have with DBAs is they always when they require things to DBAs they are they don't have a time they're not busy or they are not available to do things. Why? Because they are very busy and do what we call business as usual they always doing the same things over and over and over especially if you're not proactive you are reactive DBA you will end up being a firefighter taking that fire out and another one is on and so on. Then a critical project is going to be implemented is a protection project in the pipeline you basically never available you know and that start causing a lot of issues with management that see why I'm being dispersal person that's never available. Apologies for my cough. That's why you need to change. In my experience I can tell you that at the present we have two types of DBAs what we are will call DBOs and DBAs. DBOs are database operators that is DBAs is still doing the same business as usual as always keeping their time is just doing the same thing over and over and over and then you have the DBAs that do not means anymore database administrators that means database architects in my opinion. That's the people that automated most of the things that they could automate why to focus and defend in the strategic projects for the company and try to achieve it before a better return of investment more availability more recoverability more security and so on and that's what you need to start thinking. That's the present of your profession to think if you are a DBO or you're going in the database operator direction or you don't go in the database architect direction if you're going to go to the database architect direction need to give that step back and start looking on better options to your company. If you take a look on this information from database maestro that Oracle talked a lot about you will see the DBAs spend much of their time in these areas maintenance security reliability where 72 percent of IT budgets are spent on generic maintenance tasks versus innovation and 85 percent of security breaches occur after the CVA was published and 91 percent experience in planning data center outages because environments are not reliable. If you take in average a database downtime costs around 7900 US dollars per minute that's from database maestro information and this is the time this is areas that we basically spend too much time in maintenance if you take a look we are not able to innovate we are not able to focus on security properly and we are not able to properly guarantee the reliability availability of our environments especially of the data. If you think about that remember the data is the new oil and we are database architects are the new people that will be able to focus in how to keep the data secure available reliable and recoverable for everyone in the company we need to manage that oil properly and that's the thing that you need to start changing your mind and start focus on. You need to focus your mind and start becoming that architect not anymore an operator operators can be easy replace it architects not you need to start to be more strategic to your company and start to think on ways that you can give you more return of investment to you to your business if not you'll be in trouble but other questions that a lot of people ask me is Francisco is the DBA professional going down is people is starting to hire DBAs if that's not true if you take a look at statistical from the United States in 2016 the database profession is still one of the most important and high demand occupations in United States you can see that is a faster than average the job outlook with 11% grow and number of jobs being published in 2016 was 119,500 United States as example and high pay and that's what's in 2016 if it's looking in May 2017 when everybody was saying already starting to say that DBAs will be obsolete they continue to grow still being on a high demand profession the number of employees still higher 113,000 people looking right there just in the United States has plenty of statistics if you go to the computer computer science hub you will see that DBA profession is still a high demand globally but you need to think that DBAs are not anymore database only traders they are being required to be more architect kind of things they need to have a new skill set they need to include things like cloud computing network security and so on and that's the things you need to be aware of if I just go here in Australia as per example just google database administrator in Australia we are a big country was a small population when compared with United States but you can see 5,800 job openings just for database administrations here in Australia the pay the pay is very high it's still one of the professions we have were the best by payments in IT but you can see that popular skill sets for senior database administrators are growing they require you to have a multi technologies a background us level and knowledge with linux unix windows so on you need to have a cloud technology a little bit of DevOps a little bit of machine learning and so on more skill sets better chances to grow and better pay rates too and that's the things that you will find that database administrators are still on high demand globally at the moment as part of the present as I mentioned you need to have knowledge about cloud computing that's not a maybe that's not a good to have that is a full requirement that you need to have now at the moment you need to know what offerings amazon aws has a jur google cloud platform oracle that's the form most use it a cloud computing and providers are on the work you need to understand what infrastructure as a service is what platform as a service is what sass is and what offerings for infrastructure as a service pass and sass each cloud providers have that is something that you need to start investing your time start to get in some training you start to get in certified cloud is not the future anymore we are ready there and that's what we need to be prepared and learn most of what we can together with cloud computing cloud experience automation is part of the future as I mentioned before you should automate everything you can why because you have more important things to do if you don't do the things that are important to your company you will become the next dinosaur and we don't want that to happen that's why you need to start thinking about automation very very seriously you have many products many tools that you can work with and that's when you start talking about github products about source control like I mentioned github automation tools devops and so on those are things that are not a joke anymore as part of the evolution of the dba and the database developer role you need to learn that you need to become a data engineer as I mentioned the data is the new oil you need to be strong we need to have a strong knowledge on data security that's a must also you should also concentrate and learn about machine learning machine learning blockchain that's the technologies that are starting to be embedded in the database technologies more and more and that's something that you should be looking if you're not looking already and now so start working with application tuning about improving this the SQL connection management and so on to be the application connectivity to your data more efficient that's important things as I mentioned you need to focus in the future now and the future is very close that means you should start looking at this right now not take your time anymore if not you will become basically obsolete very soon again start looking on devops start looking containers start looking on cloud computing automation big data this kind of technology source control source versioning all these things are very very important in the skill sets that every database architect should know and have in your pocket a lot of people tell me is the future of no now the future is not unknown the future is very very known and the future is now basically is about everything about the examples I've already given to you if you would just look back in the start of my presentation I spoke about the hidden figures the movie movie that talk about the human computers in NASA being replaced by the mindframe from IBM I really recommend you to watch that movie if you have not seen yet you will see how the human computers where always care about losing their jobs you have a few innovate innovator people among them they're starting to see an opportunity instead of a threat with the implementation of the mindframe the IBM people was had an amazing product there was a faster way to do things that human computers at a lower cost but they had issues at making that thing work even without the technology and capability it was not working for NASA that's where the human computers and notice that they have one thing that machine did not have they had one thing that the new technology did not have at all and what was that knowledge of the business then they they discovered if they start learning coding and become developers they will be able to transfer that knowledge of the business to that new technology the hardware to make that thing work properly as expected that's where basically IBM hire all the human computers to become the new programmers and making sharing that knowledge of the business made that technology work efficiently as expected and that's the same for the DBAs today we have new tools new toys new technologies but they are useless without the knowledge of the business and we the old DBAs the new database architectures have that knowledge on our brains and we need to start using that to be able to together with these new tools that we have been giving we can make our careers and your future very very successful when we talk about the future a lot of people confuse automation versus autonomous automation is one thing autonomous another thing if you take one idea automation is what we use it to make things basically automated and automations they do by themselves let's take you one example a couple years back I bought a new car and my car have a lot of automations in Babylonian as per example they automatically turn on the lights when they detect that that is getting dark they automatically turn on the wipes if they start detecting they start raining and it's and also change the setting of the speed depending on how heavily the raining is my cruise control now is automated cruise control that they keep the distance they break for the car in front of me break they increase the velocity they do everything by itself without me doing nothing they do everything by itself you have even assisting parking that I can press a button and my car park by itself if you take a look on now these things these automation features on my car are not there to remove the pleasure of driving my car but is to make it more safer reduce risk that means I can enjoy the travel even more when my car is doing a lot of things for me to keep me safe and be enable me to get to my destination without issues and enjoy my family my kids and so on that's basically the same concept when you apply to it how the automation products you have all the automation you can deploy will make you reduce we reduce risk because we humans do mistakes but we will release you more time to focus on things that are more important to your business more important to your career if I go and ask you of John and have were you able to learn a little bit about computing because you will not respond me I don't have time now because I don't have time now with automation you can make that time if I ask you about a other example of the things you can do with automation is automate automator backups automating the user requests automating deployments many things you can do that can make it release a lot of time and reduce risk but note this automation do not mean autonomous autonomous in the same example give you to the car is a car that drive itself they have a lot using most of the automation tools that we have there but they go even further and they drive it itself that means the driver is not required anymore and that's two different things if we talk about oracle database oracle database 18c oracle database 19c oracle database 12c they are not autonomous they have plenty of automation umbeb it on them but they're not autonomous oracle had autonomous databases called autonomous data warehouse atp and so on that's a transactional one they are autonomous but they are a hybrid of the oracle technology plus much more automation to make it that full autonomous but they are automation and autonomous are two different things they need to be aware of and make it easy automation minimizing human interaction minimizing manual steps scripting and so on autonomous is a full automation with no human interaction required at all that's very important and again i want to make the emphasis of the cloud is the inevitable next steps in the database architect dna evolution or the dba evolution and you need to be focused a lot or learn about cloud technology especially networking security storage and so on that's key and is essential and not only one technology go and start learning getting certified across all the major players in cloud i'll talk and go and learn about aws go and learn about azure go and learn about uh google go and learn about oracle cloud and so on you can see when we talk about cloud if you're taking imagine magic quadrants for data management solutions for analytics that's what the partner with outfit machine learning and how the business intelligence and so on oracle is the leader on that quadrant followed by microsoft aws teradata and so on if you talk about infrastructure as a services we will see now that only we have three major players right there aws microsoft and google and we have another challenger such as alibaba oracle ibm in infrastructure as a services we only have basically six serious players not us who have with bi analytics with data management that we have tons of many players in the market and you will see a lot more in the database managing systems when you have microsoft oracle aws and sap and ibm as leaders on that magic quadrant it's you will see that where when we talk about where most of the workloads are running at the moment today versus uh 2020 expectations you will see today 37 percent of the workloads are running on premises they were expected that by 2020 in the past will be only 27 percent we'll see most we have uh we still have a lot of workload on premises public cloud we are expected the 41 percent will be by 2020 but today we have a 31 percent and so on when we compare very similar situations private cloud and the hybrid cloud we will see the things that changing and we will start changing faster and faster and faster especially the current pandemic situation employees start working remotely and so on you will see more things managing to the moving to the cloud even faster uh public cloud challenging if you compare in the past a lot of people was talking a lot about okay well how is the security in the cloud co-governance in compliancy cloud is pretty expertise privacy is where the locking locking costs that was the main challenges that the people were seeing in the past today this is the past the people don't care too much about security because they know the cloud computing companies invest tons of more money than we could do ourselves they already fully compliancy for governance and compliance they have we have tons of cloud expertise in the market at the moment privacy is taking very seriously especially with GDPR PCI many other compliances in the market and the cost is already showing that it costs efficient so if that is the past now the people is starting to focus off understanding cost implications of software licenses the licenses rules complexities when applying the cloud because the license on premises is not the same the license in the cloud that means that's starting to be a challenge to understand how i can migrate my current license when i move to the cloud and things like that you will see that license is the most challenging when moving to the cloud that the companies have at the moment when 95 percent of the workloads will be running the cloud when we're asking people about that six percent think they will be in one year but 20 percent think they'll be in 10 years five years 27 and so on that means you will see that that's will not take that long to have 95 percent of the company workloads in the cloud that means that show you how little time you have to be prepared learning these technologies to ensure that you have a job in the future and 95 percent of the respondent of the cloud report from Flexera report they are using cloud in at the moment where you will be seeing that 22 percent are using public cloud only three percent are using private cloud only and 69 percent is using hybrid cloud that means you can see 91 percent of public 72 percent when they do the crossover with private again the growing cloud user you see that usage of private cloud grow is shrinking where the usage of public cloud is going up the spending on cloud is also going up that you will see basically everywhere the multi-cloud strategy year per year over year is growing more and more the enterprise cloud strategy is growing for companies over a thousand plus employees when 58 percent using hybrid cloud and basically 84 percent using multi-cloud and what's next I will say if I can give you some tips to improve your career as a database administrator or now as a database architect will be to focus on a few software skills also as change your attitude showing a proper attitude and show why you're different of everybody else will show your your boss why you deserve that raise why you deserve the new opportunity or why you're so critical to the company if you don't show a proper attitude just be one of the the people going with the wave that will show the company that you're not essential and basically you can be easily replace it you need to learn how to do research properly too look for manuals look done look for other kind of information available to you and also know how to interact with your peers like in events like conferences you start to do in networking and because the main goal when you go to that event is for exchanging of knowledge because knowledge is only valuable when exchange it that means you will learn from new speakers you will interact and do networking with your peers and you will find people that is already already implemented technologies they are looking to implement that they can give you some tips and also but you can work vice versa in the future we can help other people too that know how to do this research is a key process for your success please do not go to the to the forums and start dropping out your your issues over there inspect people to solve them to yourself that show you that you had a bad attitude and don't know how to do research do not use the sun google to solve all your issues and never believe it on everything that was published that you read in the internet on books so so on why because something that happened to me a whole work for me a work for anybody else in a book on in the internet work for them but not necessarily we work for you why because there's so many variables in the middle that could affect the result that the result could be not expected that means if you want to ensure that something really works please apply that solution in a non-production environment please and if that works properly then apply in your u it and then apply in production but do not believe it a hundred percent on everything you read or see or were told are you here without try by yourself first also as a key point to your success do not be afraid to innovate innovation is very important and you not be afraid to implement technologies such as machine learning uh a lot of DevOps automation and so on use it because that will show you that you're doing a proper attitude and will show why you are important to the business and finally learn to properly communicate most of the time when a user come with a issue we stop listening after they start telling what the problem is because we start thinking the solution before fully understand the issue Albert Einstein said once if I had one hour to solve the uh to save the world I will spend 55 minutes understanding the problem and then I will lose the five minutes of the solution why because when you fully understand the problem the solution comes like this if you do not understand the problem we start doing the try and error try and error try and error because you did not understood the root problem properly and with the combination with a proper attitude learning to be researched being innovative know how to properly communicate communicate and listen that you that's the main tools that will help you to achieve the success in your future and also learn to be proactive do not wait problems to become a problem to start working off on start being proactive and solve them before they become a problem that will save a lot of money to your company and also time to yourself that is that to be be a firefighter now you will do not be to spend your time putting a fire down and you can use that time for something better educating prepare yourself for the future learn to manage different rdbms technologies like my sequel sequel server db2 and so on learn about no sequel database kassandra mongo maria and so on how to resolve unavailable issues uh execute recovery test to learn uh if your data data is recoverable if your backups are useful and document the process but do anyone in the company can use it i have a crash tool that simulate crashes for oracle on my website call crash simulator you can play with that too ensure that all is that your company rpo and rto s alas are being fulfilled many companies have no idea if the the rpo and rto are being fulfilled for the environments and many dbs do not even know what they are the s alas for that we are companies we remember rpo a recovery point objective and rto a recovery time objective that means how much data can you lose in case a disaster and how much time can a company afford to be down you need to gain deep knowledge and performance tuning you need to learn about how the application works to know how to interact with your database you need to learn how to review and implement security efficiently on premises and in the cloud keep your database trend technologies and technologies uh and knowledge up to date learn about kafka microservices containers virtualization and DevOps by yourself so many things you should be looking these are only example learn about python about a java learn about a cloud technology as i mentioned many times so many things you can notice that you should be focused and that's why automation is so important to allow you to have time to focus on these in your screen right now some example what's next i will tell you to after this presentation start looking on tools like ansible git lab or git vagrant confluence and also check in our website cloud debits the solutions for automation framework for help dbas to automate things on their databases and saying that that's basically what i have to say today apologies if i rush a little bit with the topic is a huge topic with a lot of information we could be discussing i try to speed up a little bit to give us time for a q and a in case you have any questions and please feel free to ask me any questions that you could have and after that i would like to say also thank you thank you for your time today i hope you enjoy this presentation i hope i will uh you can come with many questions i'm here to respond that to you and please don't be afraid of the future the future is still very interesting and we need to make a good usage of the business knowledge that we have that is our diamond that you need to make a value with your organization thank you so much
