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 about the security fundamentals of OCI. We explained principals, compartments, policies, instance principals, and federation concepts. You have learned how to design a logical separation of resources within compartments, and then give access to certain users to perform operations on certain resources within a compartment. You have also looked at how to implement IAM to give native security access to OCI instances, so it can call the OCI API without the need to store local user credentials.

In the next chapter, we will learn how OCI implements virtual networking and some of the advanced scenarios that depict how you can connect your on-premises data center to a regional OCI data center.
