# design database in the cloud — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator, 'designing databases in the cloud' isn’t just about moving existing schemas *to* a cloud provider; it's fundamentally rethinking how you architect for resilience and scalability. Daily tasks shift from capacity planning for single servers to designing distributed systems – choosing between services like AWS Aurora/RDS, Azure SQL Database/Cosmos DB, or Google Cloud Spanner based on consistency requirements (ACID vs eventual), read/write patterns, and budget. You'll be heavily involved in defining replication strategies (multi-AZ deployments, cross-region replicas) and automated failover mechanisms *from the start*, not as an afterthought. This means understanding concepts like sharding, partitioning, and choosing appropriate data models for NoSQL options when traditional relational approaches don’t fit.
