Join us for CIN TTT series covering CompTIA DataSys+ V2 certification! @Stephen.Patton will lead us through the ten-session series covering the exam objectives and provide hands on examples as you strengthen your database management skills. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

CompTIA DataSys+ is a vendor-neutral certification designed for professionals with approximately 2–3 years of hands-on experience in database administration. The updated DataSys+ V2 validates the knowledge and skills required to design, deploy, manage and maintain databases across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. It ensures candidates can work with relational and non-relational databases, develop and run SQL and basic scripts, monitor performance, and implement security and business continuity best practices.

DataSys+ V2 expands beyond traditional DBA responsibilities to cover data acquisition and integration, scripting and programming concepts, and the impact of ORMs and application code on database performance. The exam tests the ability to secure data at rest and in transit, apply encryption and key management, implement identity and access management (IAM) and Zero Trust concepts, and support backup, restore, disaster recovery and high availability.

I don't necessarily disagree... but I think we can all agree that Rick hates Microsoft, and he is less concerned by WHO is eating their lunch than he is that someone is eating it

Well, my disdain for Microsoft has developed over the course of decades of using their products and feeling constrained by Redmond in doing things. They weren't always that way. But these days, they have gotten very much controlling of the Windows environment. I get tickets and complaints about Windows Update forcing things. Windows pushing 365 to the point where you have to about hack the system to get a local account going. And don't get me started on Copilot's constant presence, even with me on a Linux machine, Copilot keeps trying to assert itself.

In short, I am one that believes that users should use their computers, not be used by them, or the companies that provide software.

That's due to the increase in macOS desktops. Linux is still chugging along below 10% where they've always been.

Which brings me to Apple - not much a fan of Apple either. I think it was a good move for them to adopt a UNIX based kernel, rather than continuing to make its legacy iOS a pain on the industry (notwithstanding making more agreeable with Intel-based silicon). But Apple still pushes people into obeisance of the Mighty Blue Apple.

Linux has a stranglehold on the server market, but you'll never convince regular users to switch over. It's an admin OS.

Probably not en masse but the current trend is that more users are moving away from Windows to Linux - particularly in the world of Gaming where Valve's Proton compatibility layer and implementations of SteamOS are drawing gamers off of Windows at a pretty aggressive pace.

Historically, Microsoft's OS lockouts from Win 10 to 11 have opted to use Linux on otherwise functional hardware. Linux will always be king of 'that older laptop that I want to get more life from'. I have an old Lenovo E351 that runs my Home Assistant - a machine that would otherwise been tossed in the recycle bin is managing my home's smart tech.

So while I'm sure that we're not going to see large swathes of users embrace the penguin overnight, the world is seeing more people leave Windows for something else, rather than the inverse.
