It is important to note that just because you will be moving to the cloud, it is not to say that the DBA you have in-house will be abdicating his or her responsibilities.
There are duties and tasks that will change once the shift to the cloud occurs, but your DBA will still have a very valuable role to play in your organization.
One of those roles is to act as a liaison between your company and the remote DBA since he has more knowledge of the inner workings of your enterprise and can offer valuable information that will then be used in the provision of quality services to you. With a better understanding of your needs, you can expect a better service from your cloud vendor.
Here we have mentioned some of the important tasks or skills which required as Cloud DBA apart from traditional DBA skills.
- Design & Specifications of Database i.e. CPU, Memory, Disk Space, Future Growth, High Availability & Disaster Recovery (Yes even in Cloud, you have to consider HA & DR).
