Yesterday in this post I described a method to correct permissions when upgrading a SQL Server 2017 container using Data Volumes to 2019’s non-root container on implementations that use the Moby or HyperKit VM.

Recently Microsoft released a Non-Root SQL Server 2019 container and that’s the default if you’re pulling a new container image.

I’m very pleased to announce that I will be speaking at PASS Summit 2019!

Let’s get you started on your Kubernetes journey with installing Kubernetes and creating a cluster in virtual machines.

People often ask me what’s the number one thing to look out for when running SQL Server on Kubernetes…the answer is memory settings.

Recently I needed to write a PowerShell script that could build a backup set from a collection of backups stored in Azure Blob Storage without any backup history available from MSDB.

When working with SQL Server running containers the Error Log is written to standard out.

Pre-conference Workshop at SQLSaturday Denver I’m proud to announce that I will be be presenting an all day pre-conference workshop at SQL Saturday Denver on October 11th 2019!

So, if you’ve been following my blog you know my love for internals.

A quick post about pulling docker containers (this applies to docker run too)…when specifying the container image, the container image name and tag are case sensitive.

In the first two posts in this series we discussed the need for data persistency in containers then we discussed where the data actually lives on our systems.

So in my previous post, we discussed Docker Volumes and how they have a lifecycle independent of the container enabling us to service the container image independent of the data inside the container.

What’s the number one thing a data professional wants to do with their data…keep it around.

Today, I’m proud to announce that I have been renewed as an Microsoft MVP – Data Platform for the 2019-2020 award year, my third MVP award.

Speaking at SQLSaturday Atlanta!

When working with SQL Server in containers and Kubernetes storage is a key concept.

Had a conversation with a good friend in the SQL Community about OpenSSH and how it fits as a transport layer for PowerShell Remoting.

The vision for PowerShell Core is to be able to run PowerShell anywhere.

Speaking at PowerShell Summit 2019!

In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to use VS Code and Azure Data Studio for presentations where you need to execute local code on remote systems over SSH.

In Kubernetes we can leverage Controllers to help manage our application state, keeping them in the desired state.
