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.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned about the nuances of serverless applications, their use cases, and why serverless platforms are getting popular among enterprises. To reiterate, it is a simple piece of code that does one job. It takes some input (usually on standard in) and, optionally, writes some output, usually to standard out.

You also learned how Oracle has adopted the open source fn project to break free from the cloud lock-in of serverless applications. You also looked at the advanced concepts surrounding Oracle functions and how they can be taken further with the integration of OCI Events Service.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to use Terraform and Ansible code to maintain your OCI Infrastructure as Code.
