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 7: Building a Cloud-Native Application on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Software development methodologies have changed a lot in the last two decades. Containers and microservices-based software development have taken the front seat. It has not only set foot in the startup world, but also expanded into large enterprises. Enterprises that were previously hesitant to look at this new model of building applications are now beginning to learn this and are changing their method of software delivery. Large IT enterprises are developing their own solutions for a hybrid model; that is, their solution not only caters to the on-premises software model, but is scaling to cloud-based models as well – they are being delivered as containers and being orchestrated using container orchestration services such as Kubernetes.

OCI provides Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, or OKE for short, which is a fully managed service that's highly scalable, highly available, and secure...
