There is a trend in the market toward asking database administrators to manage increasingly large numbers of databases. This trend is accelerated by the adoption of cloud and hybrid-cloud databases in which portions of an application's data are held in the cloud, and portions are held locally. Further accelerating the trend is the typical scenario in which individual enterprise applications each run on their own database instances, all of which must be managed. Database administrators are being called upon to keep with a burgeoning number of instances, and automation is the key. This book provides those administrators with much-needed and valuable help in automating their work and manage more databases than ever before, and easier than ever before.
