List:
I am interested in knowing your experiences in moving from on-prem to cloud platforms (IAAS specifically).
At our work we use AWS and initially it was a lift and shift approach for few applications and then slowly progressed towards dockerize and do things differently compared to on prem (like use snapshots for quick restore instead of rman restore and use ECS file system for sharing volumes across instances;). The DBA was responsible for the Oracle side of things and was involved only in updating security groups and creating ALB. Storage, creation of AMIs and VPC creation, IAM role creation, was done by unix admins and storage admins.
Now some section of the team feel we can do all the activities ourselves
(DBAs). Just provision an AWS account and we will manage all the
infrastructure piece (ec2, vpc, roles, security).
My initial thoughts were, this is not correct approach since DBA may/will
have some knowledege of unix sysadmin/network admin/storage admin. But
they (the unix/storage/network) have been in that role for a longer time
and could troubleshoot issues better. It is not about running few terraform
scripts to provision infrastructure is what I think (which anyone can
probably do).
Devops model does not mean one team doing all the work. This may be a good
thing from an indvidual point of view where one gets to do all the work but
is it good from an organization point of view.
I may be wrong and correct my thoughts and I would like to get details on how it is done at other places.
Thank you
Kumar
