Today the Datanauts get sorted about the world of database administrators, a.k.a DBAs.

There’s a chasm between infrastructure ops and DBAs, especially when it comes to running data center workflows. This show aims to build some bridges.

We also focus on Microsoft SQL Server, one of the most widely deployed database applications in the enterprise.

Our guide to the DBA life is Mike Fal, a database solutions engineer at Rubrik. Mike blogs at Art Of The DBA. We’ll delve into the intricacies of relational databases and how applications interact with them.

Then Mike walks us through the day in the life of a DBA, and we conclude with a conversation on how infrastructure ops and DBAs can work better together.
