Cloud computing is a seeming game-changer for IT organizations, as it significantly impact standard DBA task patterns.

But those who seek to understand how the cloud can help them in their day to day business lives can often be foiled by a bevy of questions. Does the cloud automate everything that a DBA does? Does the cloud mark the end of the DBA career? Or is the cloud an enabler of new opportunities for the DBA?
