The A-Team has received many requests for 'guidance in providing secure and resilient failover for Cloud services'. This is the normal opening question when people ask for help in this area. Having spent a large part of my career in business continuity, many non-technical aspects need to be considered and addressed before one even starts to talk let alone deploy, an architecture to achieve failover. In this blog, I will endeavour to cover several aspects when the business and...

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring Service provides a convenient way of accessing metric data for multiple OCI services (listed in “Supported Services” section of the Monitoring Overview page). OCI customers can access metric data in multiple ways – in OCI console or by using the Grafana Plug-in for creating dashboards for querying and displaying monitoring data in graphical format or by using SDKs/APIs. New features for OCI are being released at a very fast pace....

Introduction Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is a sophisticated tool that database administrators have been using to take the backup of their on-premises databases. As the organizations move their databases to cloud, the database administrators may want to continue to use RMAN to perform backup and recovery operations. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers several services and options, including RMAN, to take the backup of your databases. In this blog I will not be...

On a recent project, I created a microservice in OKE where data was persisted in a database. ATP was the obvious choice because it is so easy to provision. The challenge was that to connect to an ATP instance a wallet is needed. This poses a security risk if you build the container image with the wallet in it. A solution is to store the wallet in HashiCorp Vault. This article explains how to store the wallet into Vault, how to setup Kubernetes auth authentication method and...

Introduction With customers migrating their mission critical 24x7 databases to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it brings the need to migrate such databases to cloud with near zero downtime. The database migration becomes more complex if source database to be migrated is on a version that is not supported on cloud. This puts a mandate for customers to first upgrade their on-premise database version to OCI supported version and then migrate to OCI. This is doable for...

Introduction Web applications rely on load balancers for high availability, fail-over, and scaling. Client to application communication happens via a load balancer over HTTP/S which is inherently stateless however many times applications require the client state to be maintained throughout a session or for a period of time till a multi-step transaction is completed. In load balanced environment with multiple application servers in a cluster, maintaining a client state is...
