Protecting your cloud IT resources is fundamental in the modern e-commerce business. Companies rely on the public cloud's high availability and disaster recovery capabilities. Therefore for every compute instance with block volumes, you need to prepare a good backup strategy and protection for a more severe disaster such as region outage. In that place, block … Continue reading Cross-region replication of block volume in OCI with Terraform
Public clouds are changing like crazy. That is a well-known fact. I still remember Oracle Cloud Infrastructure when it was in the early stage of development and was located ONLY in Phoenix and Ashburn regions. At that time it was called BareMetal Cloud Service (BMCS). Meanwhile, within the last 3 years, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) … Continue reading Refreshing advanced OCI topologies deployed with Terraform
In recent months I have been extremely busy. Most of my time has been consumed by OCI Architecture Center where we are trying to promote the Solution Architecture approach to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Yes, it is true that people are looking for zero-2-hero pieces of training on how to provision cloud infrastructures, especially with Terraform … Continue reading Highly available WordPress CMS with OCI MySQL DBSystem deployed with Terraform
The first self-study course I recorded three years ago. This edition I have never published. You can ask why? To be fairly honest, I felt it was too drafty and rusty, not professional enough, and I just wanted to make it better. The second version was recorded in 2019. It has been made public, and … Continue reading Refreshed self-study training for OCI and Terrafom
I am not sure if you have noticed that, but in March 2021 Kubernetes clusters have been significantly redefined within OCI. I mean now Container Engine for Kubernetes is VCN-native by default. You can read about it here. VCN-native K8S clusters are completely integrated with your Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). It also means you can … Continue reading Private OKE (VCN-Native) in OCI with Terraform
About Bastion usage I have written a long time ago. Usage of jump hosts is very common. It seems to be obvious from a security point of view that you want to hide compute instances or database servers in private networks, but there should be a secure way to access them somehow, especially when you … Continue reading Bastion Service in OCI deployed with Terraform
Last few weeks I was extremely busy with OCI Architecture Center and GitHub QuickStarts. That is why I was silent here. But it doesn't mean I haven't done anything for the FoggyKitchen community. Far from that. In the spare time, during the very limited free cycles, I was trying to refactor the code for my … Continue reading Refreshed training GitHub repo
For this lift & shift, I have been preparing for the last two months. Frankly, I had envisioned it a long time ago, but it has taken a lot of time to plan it and then executed it. The first and the biggest challenge was to automate most of the tasks. The fact of preparing … Continue reading This site moved entirely to OCI!
The flexibility of OCI is growing every single day. In November 2020 new features have been added to the networking scope of OCI. You can now update VCN and subnet CIDR block information after creation. Support for feature of expanding and shrinking of Subnet and VCN has been added to Terraform OCI Provider the same time. … Continue reading How to modify on the fly CIDR block of your VCN or subnet with Terraform
A few days back I have shown you OCI Flexible Shapes available in OCI deployed with Terraform. Today I would like to present a brand new feature that extends the flexibility of cloud network infrastructure further. On top of flexible compute VMs you can now put Flexible Load Balancer, now also with Terraform (OCI Terraform … Continue reading OCI Flexible Load Balancer with Terraform
