Don’t get me wrong. It is not true that I don’t like Jenkins. In fact, I really like it, and I have promoted it many times for its flexibility and extensive customization options. However, the truth is, if you are in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and leveraging OKE as your …
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 …
Recently I have discovered that now you can provision a standby Autonomous Database on shared Exadata infrastructure. This peer database can be then used for data protection and disaster recovery. The technology behind is well known. It is Data Guard, here called Autonomous Data Guard. Sounds great? There is only …
In one of the latest lessons of my tutorial I have shown how to setup DataGuard locally within the same region. I guess this is some sort of database protection, but in case of the whole region failure it will not help at all. So it is worth to consider …
Recently Mattia has presented the blog post about using OCI CLI to retrieve OCI Marketplace image. It has inspired me to explore this topic, but with Terraform usage. The goal was very simple – deploy RocketChat image (from OCI Marketplace) as a single VM in the extremely simplified cloud infrastructure, very …
Last week I was very busy so it was hard to find a few free cycles to write about it. Yes, I have passed recently Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer 2020 Certified Associate exam. Frankly speaking, it was obvious for me I need to do it. I am a hardcore developer …
Introduction Terraform allows you to deploy infrastructure very quickly, and you can find thousands of script/modules/snippets on the web to get you started in a snap. Once you move from the “Let’s try this at home” phase to a more “Let’s do this for a real environment” oriented phase you …
Every story should have a beginning, right? Recently I have had two zoom sessions with great mates, followers of my blog, and YT channel. Such talk is an excellent thing, especially now, in this COVID-19 self-isolation period. Both discussions have made me realize that my tutorial has a significant gap… …
Nested subcompartments in OCI has been introduced more than one year ago. So frankly speaking feedback about my course was valid. Yes, it should have proper code for nesting all of the examples somewhere in a subcompartment structure instead of the root compartment. Recently I have fixed the code for …
A few days back I have written a post about a new feature in OCI related to the DBSystem. Now you can change the shape of your VM where your database is deployed. This level of elasticity is crucial. But what to do in case of a Disaster Recovery scenario. …
