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.

Chapter 5: Understanding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storage Options

Data in your overall cloud computing system is the most critical part of your application. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) storage options give you multiple options and flexibility to store your digital data in a logical representation of the storage pools. OCI's physical storage options span across multiple backend storage devices and their categories are also very different from their use cases. Whether you want super-performing local data storage within your compute box or you want highly scalable and performant storage, OCI has it all covered. In fact, OCI also offers very low-cost storage for backing up your application data. OCI has vast storage options to choose from for your various needs, providing Block Volume, Local NVMe, File Storage Service (FSS), Object Storage, and Archive Storage storage options.

OCI's Block Volume service lets you attach a volume to an instance, move that across to...
