    That's one of those questions where you have to ask, how do you define your job?

    If, as a DBA, you see your job around setting up servers, handling security, and responding to user requests... yes. You're going to be downsized.

    If, as a DBA, you see your job as automating processes, working with developers and the business and administrators in a devops fashion, designing and growing new technologies and technological solutions, oh no. You're going to have WAY too much work to do.

    Hey, I don't care what I am doing as long as I'm employed! No, seriously, I enjoy all aspects of DBA work, so that's not an issue.

    So - and sorry to be so ignorant - but do you still do performance tuning with Azure?
