Hey Mladen,
Cloud makes it easy to just add more memory and CPU and not bother with
trifle things like optimizing your SQL for performance.

Oracle 18c is a long time away. It will be at least 3-4 years until you
see the first ones in production. DBA job is dead now, not because of
the smart databases, but because of DBaaS stuff and cloud in general.

don't even need to do backup. However, job of a SME is not dead, it only
requires a different set of skills. The IT technology is still not at
the level that would eliminate need for professionals. However, the DBA
job itself is dead, just like the job of a saddle maker. If you want to
make a career decision, being an Oracle DBA is not a good one.
