Introduction Earlier this year my colleague Andrei Stoian (Bogdan) published a blog post that highlights the steps for interconnecting OCI and AWS via native VPN services from both vendors. Once you have the tunnel up and running, and the respective route and security rules are in place, the next logical step is to leverage the internal DNS services of the Virtual Networks. In this post I will provide step by step details for configuring the Internal DNS resolver on both...

.cb11w1 ul li, .cb11w1 ol li { line-height: 1.4em; color: #404040 } Instance Pools (especially in combination with rules for automatic scaling) are a great feature of OCI to automate the scaling of compute resources to match fluctuating demand. Examples can be seasonal or weekly peaks or a compute pool in a DR scenario. Instance Pools are quickly configured in the OCI console, although you can of course also manage them with the OCI CLI, terraform or other supported methods...

As part of the OCI Designer Toolkit (OKIT) series we will look at how OKIT integrates with OCIs Resource Manager to create Resource Manager stacks, apply those stacks and update them. Resource Manager OKIT enables the user to export to Terraform or Ansible allowing DevOps to integrate into their currently established Infrastructure as Code workflow. One of the more interesting options is OKIT's ability to integrate with OCIs Resource Manager. This integration allows...

With the OS Management Service (OSMS), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a service to fully automate the patching of your Oracle Linux or Windows instances. It allows you to organize your systems into groups and then schedule jobs to apply the latest updates to all these systems. There is a wide range of predefined software sources to choose from, providing the full wealth of the Oracle yum repositories to your Linux systems. In the simplest case, this will keep all your...

.cb11w1 ul li, .cb11w1 ol li { line-height: 1.4em; color: #404040 } Sometimes all you want to do is create regular backups of your instances. Policy-Based Backups to the rescue. All you need to do is choose from one of the existing policies or define your own and then apply that to the instance or volume you want to protect. This works like a charm and opens the door to cross-region copies and very simple restore operations. However, what do you do if you have multiple data...

Following on from the Introduction to OKIT the The OCI Designer Toolkit blog post we will investigate the Template functionality; what's currently available and how the user can create their own templates and include these within OKIT. Templates The OKIT concept of Templates is a predefined architecture that can be used as a reference for creating your own architecture. These can be opened, modified and subsequently saved as your own implementation. Accessing Templates All...

Before building your OCI Infrastructure you will need to spend time designing and visualising your architecture. This can be done using a variety of tools, Microsoft Visio and Draw.io to name a few, but these are only diagrams useful for discussing the architecture missing key information that would allow you to translate the design into a working solution. To address these huge shortcomings of traditional design tools we decided to build OKIT. The OCI Designer Toolkit (OKIT)...

Introduction A load balancer (LB) monitors the health of the backend servers periodically to ensure that the requests are served only by healthy servers in a backend set. The OCI LB service supports 2 approaches for checking the health of the backend servers: TCP – Checks if a TCP (Layer 4) connection can be made to the backend server on a specified port. HTTP – Checks if a pre-configured URI is accessible over HTTP (Layer 7) and returns the expected result ( Status code or...
