Intro to CosmosDB
If you’ve been paying attention CosmosDB has quickly been gaining all the spotlight on Microsoft Azure.  Join Russ Thomas, long time SQL Server expert on an introductory tour of CosmosDB.  What it is, what it does, and what problems it solves.  Together we’ll set up a quick sample, wire up some code, and demonstrate some of the features that people are most excited about.  If you have been a relational DBA or SQL Server pro your entire career – you might just be surprised at how much knowledge transfers easily across.  Come find out what all the excitement is about.

Migrating to the Amazon Cloud with High Availability

These days you can’t get away from working with the Cloud.  Along with Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is arguably the largest cloud provider with impressive $16 billion in cloud revenue generated over the past 12-month period.

Amazon offers lots of services from fully managed Amazon RDS to self-managed Amazon EC2.    How to decide which product is right for your company, and how to get the best performance will be discussed along with how to implement a 24X7 high availability system in the Amazon and multiple clouds.

Eric Peterson is director of Database Administration at PayGo.
