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 learned the various way of managing resources in OCI other than using the Console. OCI's API-first strategy is excellent in that all the other developer tools can utilize its benefits and produce various other ways to interact with resources such as the OCI CLI, Cloud Shell, SDKs, and REST API. You learned how to use the OCI CLI to create and delete resources not only from your local workstation, but also using Cloud Shell. The various programming languages on offer give you the ability to choose your preferred option and automate operations using code. Finally, the REST API offers an intuitive, easy, robust and at the same time secure way of interacting with the API endpoint.

In the next chapter, you will see how you can use a VMware solution and craft a hybrid cloud solution.
