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 6: Understanding Database Choices on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides a range of database services, and these are categorized as autonomous and co-managed database services. Despite the type of database service, these databases are designed to be robust so that enterprises can use them on a cloud scale. The Oracle Database service is backed by a robust infrastructure and is capable of handling mission-critical production workloads. This includes three availability domains and multiple regions. Currently, active redundancy can be implemented with features such as Data Guard configured to operate across all availability domains.

The networking that backs these database systems, along with every other system in OCI, is fully non-blocking and fully contextualized (multi-tenant with full isolation between networks). Speeds go from a minimum of 10 gigabits up to dual 25 gigabits per host, along with dedicated InfiniBand (IB) for cluster and...
