This team is comprised in part of a group of talented DBAs, but they do not have AWS Redshift experience. The team’s responsibility is to outline public cloud strategy for DB.

His team is unable to push back or provide suggestions until several days after meetings, after they’ve spent time and resources researching said suggestions. The team is looking for a AWS Redshift and cloud guru to bring in house on the SDIT side of this project.
