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.

Evolution of cloud native applications

Large enterprises are realizing the power of quickly innovating using their existing investments. To keep up this speed of innovation, they are moving on and performing cloud-native application development, where they can deliver their investments using built-in open source and open standards frameworks. But what are cloud-native applications? Cloud-native applications are built to provide consistent development, automation frameworks, and a seamless experience in a private, public, or hybrid cloud model. These applications achieve these benefits by providing self-serve, on-demand resource provisioning, and automated life cycle operations.

With this agility in mind, every cloud provider has their own methods of providing managed services, all while offering to help these large enterprise companies get started on this journey. Here, having a managed Kubernetes offering is the key to success.
