I feel like having the DBA act only in an advisory role might not be enough. What if the team still struggles with database tasks?

I'm not sure if moving the DBA to another team is a good idea. It might just create more problems if they leave the current team without support.

This is a tricky one, but I think option C is the way to go. Adding another database admin to the team is the most proactive solution to address the risk and ensure the team's velocity doesn't take a hit if the current admin leaves.

I'm leaning towards option D. Getting the team's agreement for the database admin to act in an advisory capacity could be a good way to spread the knowledge and reduce the risk. But I'm not 100% sure if that's the best approach.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key here is that the agile coach needs to address the risk of the team's velocity decreasing if the sole database admin leaves. Option C seems like the best choice - adding another admin to balance the workload and help with knowledge retention.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question is asking what the agile coach should do, but the options seem to be focused on the team and the database admin. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a tricky situation. I'm not sure if I should go with option A and start hiring a new database admin, or if option C to add another admin is the better approach.

Okay, let's see here. The key seems to be figuring out what command set is applied between the show ip bgp 2.2.2.2 iterations. I'll need to analyze each option closely to determine the correct one.

I'd have to go with Option C as well. Hiring a new DBA as a replacement (Option A) might take too long, and the team needs the help now.
