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.

Managing Oracle's Autonomous Database service

Unlike other databases that you have learned about so far, where each database is individual, Autonomous Database is a set of OCI databases whereby each database has been built to serve a particular type of workload. For data warehouse workloads, which are an analytical type of workload, OCI provides Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW).

However, if you are looking for a database to support more transactional data, then OCI has the Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) database service.

The third member of the family is Autonomous JSON Database. This is built for applications that have JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)-centric schema requirements. This service also offers document APIs and native JSON storage.

The OCI Autonomous Database offering is fully managed like the other Oracle services. As it is autonomous in nature, you have no responsibility to configure and manage any hardware and don't even need to install any...
