Provided herein are data cloud administration techniques that achieve autonomy by using a rules engine that reacts to a database system event by autonomously submitting an asynchronous job to reconfigure a database. In an embodiment, a rules engine receives an event from a DBMS. Based on the event, the rules engine executes a rule to generate a request that indicates configuration details for a database. The rules engine sends the request to a request broker. The request broker dispatches an asynchronous job based on the request. The asynchronous job configures the database based on the configuration details. Thus, databases in a cloud, data grid, or data center may be administered autonomously (without human intervention) base on dynamic conditions that are foreseen and unforeseen.
