Best quote from Alex:
Bah, humbug! You can't replace me. The world will always need DBAs. ALWAYS.
The change is coming and as with any significant change, you have three
options: 1) ignore the change hoping it will go away; 2) actively resist the
change because you don’t agree; or 3) embrace the change—adapt and maximize
your opportunities during the transition. Make your choice.
I would like to refer the reader to a paper written by my colleague Warner
Chaves with the help of Vladimir Stoyak, “The Evolving Role of DBAs in the
Cloud”
(http://resources.pythian.com/evolving-role-of-dbas-in-the-cloud-whitepaper),
where Warner discusses how to fit into this new landscape of managing databases
in the public cloud. In addition, I recommend listening to the first episode of
Datascape Podcast: “Discussing the Future of the DBA Career”
(www.pythian.com/blog/datascape-podcast-episode-1-discussing-the-future-of-the-dba-career/<https://www.pythian.com/blog/datascape-podcast-episode-1-discussing-the-future-of-the-dba-career/>).
