Challenges Management and Opportunities of Cloud DBA

This paper discuss the challenges and opportunities of Cloud computing DBA, beginning with building the database in the cloud by comparing between available architectures and choose the suitable one for the cloud. also we compare between traditional relational database (RDBMS) and NoSQL Database and discuss the most important parameters which is important for cloud DBA. we discuss the limitations and opportunities of deploying data management issues on these emerging cloud computing platforms (e.g., Amazon Web Services). We speculate that large scale data analysis tasks, decision support systems, and application specific data marts are more likely to take advantage of cloud computing platforms than operational, transactional database systems. We thus conclude the need for a new database administration system designed especially for cloud computing environments.

本文探讨了云计算数据库管理员（Cloud Computing DBA）所面临的挑战与机遇，开篇通过对比现有可用架构，遴选适配云计算环境的数据库构建方案。其次，本文对比了传统关系型数据库（Relational Database Management System，RDBMS）与非关系型数据库（NoSQL Database），并探讨了云计算数据库管理员工作所需关注的核心关键参数。此外，本文还分析了在亚马逊云服务（Amazon Web Services，AWS）这类新兴云计算平台上部署数据管理工作时存在的局限与发展机遇。本文认为，相较于事务型运营数据库系统，大规模数据分析任务、决策支持系统以及面向特定应用的数据集市更易于借助云计算平台发挥效能。据此，本文得出结论：亟需专为云计算环境打造的新型数据库管理系统。
