Powerful Machine Learning (ML) is upon us. As Oracle DBAs, it is now our turn to leverage ML, enabling us to do things never before possible. But it's not that simple. There is a lot to learn. Everything from methodology to math to tools. And then the nagging question of, as a DBA, is there a real application in my work?

The good news is, classic ML applications match our analysis use cases, and we have access to a ton of performance data; powerful number-crunching machines sit on our desktops and ML software is 100% free. It's the perfect setup!

So, in this presentation I'm going to introduce you to the world of ML from a DBA perspective. This includes understanding what ML is, why you should use it, and why now. I will lead you through two use cases, each using a different ML algorithm. The first at a high level and the second at a detailed level.

Our future is not AWR or even ASH analysis! Now is the time for Oracle DBAs to step into the world of ML because it is powerful, practical, and enables us to do things we have never been able to do before.
