As I have mentioned some time ago I strongly believe Kubernetes adoption should grow over time in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Container technology gives us a lot of elasticity and scalability. Application, especially based on microservices, could be easily deployed and can grow at scale. Moving out from the monolith approach …
Recently one of the students on my course covering OCI Container Engine has asked me about customized docker images. It was amazing how stupid I was, just because I have forgotten to add the lesson covering the usage of Container Registry (OCIR). Now, this lesson is added and you can …
In the previous post, I mentioned my plans to develop an independent course covering OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes. The idea has been converted into reality. Here you can find the self-study training where I believe everyone can catch the most important details in regards to OKE. Below I am …
I will be honest with you… I know it was not good, but I was not able to write blogs here mostly because of a lack of time. Last half of the year I was deeply engaged in OCI Architecture Center development. We have added dozes of Reference Architectures as …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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). …
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 …
