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 compute choices that you have in OCI. We explained the different types of compute instances that you can use, as well as the different type of shapes they can have. We also described how to use different OS images while creating these instances, such as Oracle-Provided images, custom images, and so on. You also learned how to export/import images for image portability across regions and tenancy. We then discussed instance config, pools, and autoscaling. Finally, you got to grips with console connections and how to use them to troubleshoot instance issues.

In the next chapter, we will cover the various storage choices that you have in OCI and how to leverage them in your use cases.
