EPM Framework Archives - Boris Hristov

Yet Again I was on RunAs Radio

April 22, 2015 By Boris Hristov Leave a Comment

More than one year ago I joined Richard Campbell(b|t) for my first RunAs Radio podcast ever. It was a ton of fun and we talked about one of my favourite topics – Distributed Replay. You can listen to that show here. Now, more than 12 month laster I joined Richard for another podcast and once again we talked about a favourite topic of mine – Policy-Based Management. A topic that I love so much, I recorded a course on. I am amazed that still a ton of DBAs nowadays don’t know about this feature and not to mention they haven’t heard how it can be combined with CMS and the EPM Framework because that’s one of the biggest time saver a DBA can have and use. So if you are a podcast fan or just want to listen to and learn more about all of those things that I mentioned above, go to the website, download the show and enjoy! It’s free at the end of the day! 🙂

+ 1 more thing – the first 2 people who listen to the podcast and ping me on twitter with a sincere interest for learning more about the subject(I will decide what sincere means :)) will get a Pluralsight voucher for one month allowing them to watch the almost 6-hour course I recorded on the subject + every other course on the website! So are you ready to learn how to make your life easier with Policy-Based Management?

Joining the Pluralsight Family

Training and education evolve and if there is one organisation that really gets that, I believe that’s Pluralsight. I have been subscribing for their courses for more than a year, but now I am really pleased to share that I will join their company as Author and Instructor! This means that I am now going to be producing content for them and that is really something special and something that I am quite proud of! My first course is coming soon and it will be on the topic of Auditing SQL Server with Policy-Based Management. Expect quite an interesting modules as I will be also touching on topics like PowerShell, AlwaysOn Availability Groups and EPM Framework!

Already looking forward to start the preparation of the course and I hope I will soon be able to share part of the experience on this video below – Pluralsight Author Summit!

2012 started, isn’t it?

On 19th of January I together with a colleague of mine – Ivan Donev(twitter|blog) will be presenting at Microsoft SQL Server User Group Bulgaria. We are going to be talking about Policy Based Management in SQL Server:
– What is this?
– How can it help you manage your environment and be a better DBA?
– What’s new in SQL Server 2012 and what can you expect from SQL Azure?
– What is EPM Framework and how can you use it in your environment?
– and more…

So, if you’re interested in the subject, hope to see you at 19:00 at Microsoft’s office.
(yes, i know that it’s going to be cold outside, but it’s worth it! :))

Update: You can find the slide deck from the presentation here:. On the link below however, you will find a zipped archive with the slides(if you want to download it) and some useful scripts!
