Introduction Traffic between SaaS and PaaS Services that reside in separate Regions within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) regions already take advantage of the OCI backbone to ensure that traffic is not routed via the Public Internet. Benefits using the OCI Backbone are encryption by default and consistent, reliable performance for data that is traversing between OCI Regions. OCI-Classic Regions (1stGeneration Datacentre) and OCI Regions (2ndGeneration Datacentre) currently coexi...

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...

Introduction Skaffold is powerful and flexible command line tool to automate the workflow for fast Source to Kubernetes development and continuous deployment to Kubernetes Cluster. Its great strength is its pluggable architecture. It allows a very simple entry into the automation as shown in this article but allows to add to the deployment workflow as projects gain in complexity. Matching the project requirements, Skaffold can be run on demand to build and deploy once off or...

Overview We are currently seeing rapid adoption of Fusion Applications in the SaaS@Customer model. This and the strong Fusion Applications On-Premise installation base have been further secured by establishing strict rules for separation of Production Systems and Non-Productions Systems. Usually the mandate is to separate the network traffic on the logical level as well as the physical layer. Oracle VM technology offers a range of features to achieve different levels of...

Introduction Oracle Database Cloud Service can easily be configured to expose Oracle File Systems via Network File System (NFS). This is available starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 2. This feature allows a client to mount the NFS share without having to configure the Oracle Database File System DBFS Client – therefore simplifying the rollout and reduce the overall troubleshooting of clients. This feature allows full Disaster Recovery capability in conjunction with Data...

Introduction Oracle Database Cloud Service is a great PaaS Service to provide the target platform for migrations of On Premise workloads to the Oracle Cloud. There are a number of migration tools available to support the majority of use cases, however sometimes the focus is on the continuity of service, especially when continuity of service and minimised downtime are main requirements. If that’s the case Golden Gate and Data Guard are great options. The Golden Gate approach is...

Introduction The process of deploying SOA Projects to Oracle SOA Cloud Services (SOACS) can be significantly simplified and streamlined using the Oracle Developer Cloud Services (DevCS) by facilitating the inbuilt Maven and GIT repositories. This article is a walk-through on how create a SOA Project in JDeveloper and get it deployed on SOACS using DevCS. It is based on Windows, but other operating systems work in a very similar way. The following graphic shows the simplified...

Introduction This article outlines a configuration option for Oracle Java Cloud Service (JCS) in the Oracle Cloud to support switchover between datacenters to allow for ongoing availability. The configuration allows easy switchover between datacenters in case of scheduled maintenance and other outages. In this example the primary datacenter is US2 and secondary is EM2. This example has been intentionally kept simple to allow easy understanding of the concept. The WebLogic...

Introduction Having access to a VM in the Cloud via VNC can be very useful in many situations – e.g. most customers want to install software using GUI based installer, e.g. Oracle Database etc. Using VNC the installation can continue, even without being connected. The easiest way to achieve this with a reliable and secure mechanism is to use VNC via a SSH Tunnel. In this example a simple Oracle Compute Cloud VM is used to configure a Gnome Desktop & VNC Server. It has been...
