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.

Learning to integrate ORM with SCM

In a DevOps world, keeping a source Terraform configuration file on a local laptop is highly unlikely. All service teams typically store their Terraform code in an SCM tool such as GitHub or GitLab.

ORM provides a way to integrate two of the most popular SCM providers within ORM so that you can use SCM to store the Terraform configuration files to create an infrastructure. Those providers are GitHub and GitLab.

In this section, we will show you how to configure an SCM provider and then how to use it to create an infrastructure. Follow these next steps:

  1. Sign in to the OCI console.
  2. Open the navigation menu, select Resource Manager, and then Configuration Source Providers.
  3. Click on Create Configuration Source Provider.
  4. Provide a name for the provider.
  5. Select GitHub for the Type option.
  6. Provide the Server URL. As we are using free GitHub user accounts, we are using https://github.com.
