Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Solutions Architects

By: Prasenjit Sarkar

Overview of this book

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a set of complementary cloud services that enables you to build and run a wide range of applications and services in a highly available hosted environment. This book is a fast-paced practical guide that will help you develop the capabilities to leverage OCI services and effectively manage your cloud infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Solutions Architects begins by helping you get to grips with the fundamentals of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and moves on to cover the building blocks of the layers of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), compute, storage, network, and database. As you advance, you’ll delve into the development aspects of OCI, where you’ll learn to build cloud-native applications and perform operations on OCI resources as well as use the CLI, API, and SDK. Finally, you’ll explore the capabilities of building an Oracle hybrid cloud infrastructure. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to leverage the OCI and gained a solid understanding of the persona of an architect as well as a developer’s perspective.

Chapter 8: Running a Serverless Application on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Serverless computing is the next frontier for modern app development! The serverless framework abstracts the computing resources from the developers so that they don't have to deal with compute or other components to run their code.

But wait – let me tell you a secret: there are still servers involved. Lots of servers and networking gear and storage, too. We just don't want to have to think about them anymore.

In the last two decades, we have shifted our focus from Waterfall model development for a big fat monolithic application and deploying it to a physical server in our on-premises IT, to a DevOps model of delivery for our microservices-based application, running in small containers on the public cloud. This is a big change, not only in terms of technology but also in terms of a quick go to market strategy and continuous delivery for new features.

But agility is still...
