Join us for our live “DevOps Tutorial: how to automate your database infrastructure” on Tuesday, July 18th! Our guest speaker this time will be Riaan Nolan of mukuru.com, the First Puppet Labs Certified Professional in South Africa; Riaan saves the companies he works for 50% of their monthly IT bills on average.
In this new webinar we will talk you through the facets of DevOps integrations and the mission-critical advantages that database automation can bring to your database infrastructure.
As the operations person in your organisation, when your systems go down, your first priority is to restore services immediately. So what if your application stack could automatically recover (and let you sleep at night)? Why still stick to complex manual processes, which take up time and resources, and slow down future growth?
Infrastructure automation isn’t easy, but it’s not rocket science either, says Riaan Nolan. Riaan has been in operations for the past decade, and has built over a dozen eCommerce properties. Automation is a worthwhile investment, but deciding on which tools to invest in can be a confusing and overwhelming process.
Join us for this webinar to understand the key pain points, which indicate that it’s time to invest in database automation.
