Your 2025 Cloud Journey Starts Here: OCI MySQL HeatWave with Terraform

Hey Folks, Let’s Kick Off 2025 with Something Special!

I’m super excited to announce my brand-new course: OCI MySQL HeatWave with Terraform (2025 Edition)! This one’s been in the works for a while, and I’ve put everything I’ve got into making it the best training experience for you.

First, some upgrades:

• New recording gear! This is the first course I’ve recorded using my professional setup, featuring the Rode AI-1 interface and a high-quality microphone. The result? Crystal-clear audio that’s easy on the ears.
• No more background music. I heard your feedback loud and clear—background music was distracting for some. It’s gone now, so you can focus 100% on the content.

What’s Inside?

This course takes you from beginner to advanced with 8 hands-on lessons focused on using Terraform to manage MySQL HeatWave Database Service (MDS) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI):

• Lesson 1: Set up a Free Tier MySQL Database with Terraform.
• Lesson 2: Add public access with bastion hosts for secure setups.
• Lesson 3: Supercharge your database with HeatWave Clusters.
• Lesson 4: Deploy WordPress CMS on a Free Tier MDS.
• Lesson 5: Master manual backups and cross-regional recovery.
• Lesson 6: Build replication channels for disaster recovery.
• Lesson 7: Create highly available databases and apps.
• Lesson 8: Set up read replicas for workload optimization.

Why This Course is Special:

This isn’t just a refresh—it’s built for 2025, with real-world scenarios and solutions that matter right now. Plus, I spent countless hours testing and fine-tuning every Terraform module to ensure everything works perfectly.

How to Get Started:

• Head over to FoggyKitchen.com to enroll directly.
• Or check it out on Udemy if you prefer their platform.

This course is for you, my cloud community, and I hope it helps you crush your goals in 2025. If you take it, let me know how it goes—I’d love to hear your feedback!

Let’s make 2025 the year of leveling up. See you in the lessons!

Bon Appetit,
Martin, The Cook.
