I do a lot of Python development for cloud environments.  When designing and writing software I ask myself "How can this code be tested robustly in a mechanical way"? ...

That is super hard to get and post. There are so many events,...

I was completely put off by looking at the "average response time" at the top of the results -- 50 minutes? But after having a look at the results...

It's early days, but it's also all about marketing. Getting awareness of events or surveys is hard. I'd encourage you to share and send this to your colleagues and friends,...

I'm curious how many DBAs here actually have a say in cloud vs on-prem.  My previous company was a fortune 500 and I was on a team of DBAs. ...

Rod,

Often involves containerizing, and thinking in terms of always transiting a multi-layer network, not a LAN. That often means ensuring you have retries, timeouts, more tenuous connections. Often...

Above, and cert type has to be right. I have been able to use a self-signed, but that isn't secure unless you drop it on every machine. What you really...

In EC2, it's the same as if you were doing this on-premises with any SQL Server instance in a VM.

There are requirements for the cert, and the config is...

You can do that to remove filestream.  The data then lives in the db.

If you migrate to a new architecture where you want links and files, you need to stream...

that's incorrect. It's not links to files. It's streamed a file into a hidden/inaccessable place in the file system that can be read back from t-sql and a win32 api....

What type of SQL Server on AWS? EC2? RDS? You need to be clear on the setup in the cloud.

We've given you straight answers, but I don't think you understand Filestream, so they don't make sense. You have to invest a bit to understand how this works to learn...

sorry, varbinary(max), not varchar. Too used to typing that.

The data is stored in the NTFS filesystem, but you can access it through T-SQL as with any other data. You don't...

I assume you have t-sql access to filestream data, as shown here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/blob/access-filestream-data-with-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16

If you don't want that data in filestream, create another column or table with a varchar(max) column...
