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.

Understanding the solution overview of the OCVS solution

In this section, we will illustrate the basics of how OCVS is designed and deployed in OCI and its integration with other OCI services running natively, as well as other Oracle PaaS solutions.

OCVS is designed as per the VMware validated design guidelines, and the architecture uses from 3 to 64 BM.DenseIO2.52 nodes to provide full VMware SDDC capabilities.

The OCVS architecture shown in the following diagram illustrates how each component of the VMware SDDC stack is configured and deployed on an OCI compute BM instance.

The OCVS architecture can be divided into three key components: network (VMware NSX-T), compute (VMware vSphere), and storage (VMware vSAN). This section will describe the different components that are used for the VMware SDDC stack in OCI:
