Autonomous Database – Replacing the DBA?

At OpenWorld At Modern Cx (Customer Experience)

72% of IT Budget is Spent on Maintenance
The Answer… it’s the Self-Driving Database
From Maria Colgan’s talk on it…
 CEO’s Lasting 4.5 Years: Disruptors Everywhere

October 11, 2018 13

Disruptive Innovation (disruptive technology)
(also Creative Destruction – Capitalism)
The automobile did not displace the horse & buggy, the Model-T did.
Big Data, IOT, ADW, ML, Robotics

Disruptive Technologies (Clayton Christenson – 1995) can hurt well managed

companies that are responsive to their customers and have excellent R&D.
Innovation in focus: MORE than the Cloud (just a tool)
What does an Innovative Company Look Like?

1. First knowledge
2. Forming an attitude
3. Decision to adopt or reject
4. Implementation and use
5. Confirmation of Decision

Gabriel Tarde – 1903 (The S-curve or Diffusion Curve); “In

the later stages no amount of new investment in that
product will yield a normal rate of return.”
Apple – Tech Innovator!

Amazon Innovating since 1994
Amazon’s “Robot” – order quickly
Amazon Robotics and Project “Vesta”
Amazon’s Web Services
Google Search and other Tools
Google Innovation: Integrates with Cars
Self-driving Cars – “Johnny Cab” coming!
Larry sees what Tesla is doing… so what’s next in DB world?
Google Acquires Nest
Google’s Data Center (two of them - GA/IA)
A Robot may not look one!
Oh Yeah… they never complain, always happy to do more,
work anywhere, get smarter as time goes on, leverages AI
& ML, works 24x7, doesn’t ask for a raise, no union (yet).
A Robot may not look one!
*Robots that Manage a Database (ADW)!
*Robots that secure a system and use ML & AI
Oracle Disruption … The Autonomous Database
Reality of the Autonomous Database
Will my job change?
• Absolutely…sure hope so!
• Hopefully… It already has!
• It has many times in the past…
• It will move closer to the business &innovation
• Data Manager instead of DBA
• Security Expert instead of Security on the DB
• Watching over costs more
• Cloud Hidden Costs
• Cloud, Hybrid, or On-Site Decisions
• Decide which databases should be Autonomous
Become a Data Administrator (DA); Not just a DBA

Data is the New Oil…

Automation will Change where YOU Focus!
From Maria Colgan’s talk on it…
Oracle Focus: Oracle Cloud, Security & AI!
Innovation for Business AND Consumer!
Two major Announcements by Larry Late 2017
 The Autonomous Database Cloud
• Self-Healing
• Self-Driving
Adaptive
• Self-Tuning Machine Learning

• Self-Recovering
• Self-Scaling Administration
Fully automated patching, upgrades, backups, & availability architecture
Self-Driving DB – Automation to Autonomous!
From Maria Colgan’s talk on it…
Autonomous Database – DBA Job Changing
No Tuning and yet Price of Cloud Depends on Performance!
Patches itself, Backs itself up, Upgrades itself: Self-Driving!
99.995% without ANY exceptions –
That’s 26.28 minutes/year (With Standby Database)
Larry says Amazon’s 99+% EXCLUDES Many Key Items
(Oracle’s 99.995% doesn’t)!
Autonomous Database: Performance vs. AWS
Oracle Autonomous spreads to OLTP: 8/7/2018
Fast 18c to 19c Upgrade
 The Autonomous Database & the IT Dept.
Autonomous Databases into the future:
• Who ensures database is tuned before it gets to the Cloud?
• Who ensures the cloud vendor is charging correctly?
• Who ensures the backup, security, or recovery is correct?
• Who decides what kind of service the databases will be?
• Who will build the policies for those autonomous databases?
• Who will have the knowledge to decide or estimate the cost of these services?
• Who decides the complex IT Infrastructure when we have more options & vendors?
• The answer is obvious: A DBA & the rest of IT, but not a simple DBA; A DBA that
has evolved with all this new generation of databases on Cloud (A Data Manager).
Tech that Enables Innovation - AI & ML Next!
Direction of Oracle is Very Clear!
Cloud Choices – Less than you think
Saw this recently on AWS
hidden costs:

- Data Transfer costs

- Partner Network costs
- Support costs
- Storage Requests
- Complexity Costs
- EBS optimized cost
- Audit costs
- IOPS costs
- Load Balancer data
transfer costs
- SLA burden of proof
- Certification exam costs
- Elastic IP inactivity costs

Running a Query on Your Data
 DBMS_CLOUD – Nice to Know
(From Charles Kim)
• DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_CREDENTIAL – Creates a credential
object to authenticate to the object store (Oracle or AWS S3)

• DBMS_CLOUD.COPY_DATA – Copies data from the object

store into a table. Parameters: fulltable_name, file_uri_list,
format

• DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_EXTERNAL_TABLE – Create an
external table pointing to the files in the object store
• Does not load data into tables

• USER_LOAD_OPERATIONS - View to display information about

load operations
Ensure that the Load Worked
USER_LOAD_OPERATIONS and DBA_LOAD_OPERATION
show all load operations using DBMS_CLOUD:

SELECT table_name, owner_name, type, status,

start_time, update_time,
logfile_table, badfile_table

Machine Learning (ML) and Anomaly Detection
Security Focus
Security Focus – Excellent Metrics
Highly Automated Cyber Security
Based on Machine Learning
• Catch the hacker early during reconnaissance
• Conceptually: Automatically detects the threat,
combats the threat, and remediates the threat
• The database has to automatically patch itself (immediately
while running)
• No delay
• No Human Intervention
• Not wait for a human being wait for a downtime to gracefully
apply a patch a month or two after the patch was available
• Automatically and immediately secures your database
