Introduction I frequently come across the situation, where I find OCI Instances that have numerous well-known ports exposed to the public internet - VNC with Port 5901 being one of the common offenders. I have even come across OCI Instances where VNC was active with a logged in root session waiting to be used on the VNC without a password... This article will show in easy steps how to avoid this situation and walks through the secure use of VNC via an SSH tunnel. The second...

.cb11w1 ul li, .cb11w1 ol li { line-height: 1.4em; color: #404040 } In a previous blog post, I introduced the Oracle Cloud Metering API. The logical next step is to wrap some Python functions around the API calls and use them to get meaningful reports for a tenancy. This is what I’ll discuss here for a sample use case. For the sake of this example, let’s assume we’re interested in cost by compartment. This could easily be modified to use any other type of cost tracking tags....

.cb11w1 ul li, .cb11w1 ol li { line-height: 1.4em; color: #404040 } Anything the OCI Console displays is the result of REST calls to one of the various APIs through which all OCI services are available. After all, the Console is just as much a client to these APIs as the OCI CLI, the Python SDK or the Terraform provider. However, there is one area where the Console provides data not available via any of these other API clients: Cost Analysis. In fact, looking over the list of...

Introduction In this Part-3 of the series, we will take a detailed look at the add-on services available in OCI for End-to-End Monitoring needs. In Part-1 and Part-2, we have gone through features of out-of-the-box OCI services for monitoring and simple 2-tier architecture and a complex EBS use-case. The available add-on services at the time of writing this blog are Log Analytics, Application Performance Monitoring, Infrastructure Monitoring and IT Analytics. This topic is...

Introduction In part 2 of the series we will look at a simple 2-Tier architecture and investigate how best to provide End-to-End monitoring. In part 1 we have discussed the OOTB and Add-on Services available on OCI for customers to choose for End-2-End monitoring needs. This blog post will highlight the monitoring options when working with a mix of native OCI services like LBRs or VCNs and also customer managed components like Application Servers and Databases. This topic...

Introduction The End-to-End monitoring use-case aims at delivering the service levels and key performance objectives of an organizations business transactions running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As organizations move workloads to OCI, they need the ability to determine if service levels are consistent or improved from their on-premises environment. In addition, if those OCI workloads are integrated with other deployments (on-premises or in other clouds), they need...

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 CASB Cloud Service's (hereafter referred to as CASB) core functionalities are evaluating user behavior, generating risk-event alerts on policy match and detection of weak security controls of a monitored target among various other features. It is crucial to understand how an event that occurred at source is captured in CASB, whether the event qualifies for CASB's evaluation of security baseline monitoring and/or policy monitoring. This blog aims to help...

Oracle CASB Cloud Service (hereafter referred to as CASB) quickly gives you visibility into security of your cloud applications and services to help ensure that your critical data is secure. CASB provides these capabilities by frequently pulling in audit log information from various supported cloud services, analyzing them, running machine learning algorithms on them and generating risk events. Customers’ SOC could view and analyze these risk events to take appropriate...
