In this third blog post series , we will be creating 4 main compartments

• Security Compartment
• Network Compartment
• App/Dev Compartment
• Database Compartment

The compartments above are based on the CIS Foundation Architecture, which is an architecture that starts with the compartment design for the tenancy along with groups and policies for segregation of duties.

We will be using what we created in the past blog post, and we will just build on ...

In my previous post, I talked about the setup of Terraform and a primer on what it is. In this blog post I will create a simple resource in OCI.

One of the things that I will note, is that in this day and age, Terraform (TF) is a mature IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tool, so I will be relying on things that other people have done. I ...

I haven’t written a blog in a while, and I feel that I have made a couple of mistakes lately that could have easily been avoided if I had done my tasks as IaC ( Infrastructure as Code). So I will start a series of IaC and Terraform. I know there are many blogs about this, but hope you find this helpful.

I will start ...

Migrating an on-premise database to the cloud within a limited timeframe can be a challenging endeavour. I had a High Ed client that put us to the challenge of migrating their Dev/QA and Prod environments to an Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC) environment in under six weeks. In this blog post, I’ll talk a couple of points on how Oracle ZDM enabled this swift transition. 

• Architecting the solution

Architecting the Exadata Cloud@Customer ...

OCI CLI is a great tool to have at your disposal, but one problem that starts to happen as you begin to deal with several clients is that you need to change the config file in your ~/.oci directory or set the environment variable OCI_CLI_RC_FILE ( which in the current version has a bug, and is not working), which becomes tedious as you manage several tenancies.

So ...

This blog post will be a short one, but I think it is very useful when scaling your resources in an ExaCC environment.

The first thing I do is find out how much memory the VM Cluster has, which in my case it is 1900 GB.

Rene@eclipsyss-mbp eclipsys % oci db vm-cluster get --vm-cluster-id ${VM_CLUSTER_OCID} | jq -r ...

This week I got a new Exadata Cloud@Customer X9-M quarter rack, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase how to create a VM Cluster Network using OCI CLI. I am currently using version 3.25.3.

The first thing to do is to create the JSON template

Rene@eclipsyss-mbp Documents % oci db vm-cluster-network create --generate-full-command-json-input > ...

In this next installment of the Back To Cloud Basics series, I will show how to do the same exercise as my previous post via GUI with Identity Domains. 

The first thing we will do is create a compartment.

1. Click on the hamburger menu, and click Identity & Security.
2. Under Identity, click Compartments and click Create Compartment called reneaceiamblog
   1. I will do this under the root compartment.

Continuing on the series Back To Cloud Basics, I will now create a compartment, user, group and a policy for this group using OCI CLI.

The first thing that we should do is set up OCI CLI. I won’t go into this blog post on how to set it up, but you can go to this blog post I wrote several years ago on how to do ...

The first day I decided to create my very first blog post, I decided that it would be oriented towards people either in their first steps of the tech I was writing or wanting to learn a new technology. So this series of blog posts is for those who are on their path to becoming an OCI Cloud Architect, hope you enjoy the path.
According to Gartner, ...

This will be a blog post mostly for me on how to mount an Oracle Object Storage on an OCI VM system, as I want to have the steps at my hand.

Create Object Storage Bucket

So the first thing to do is create the Object Storage, you can do this by going to the Hamburger Menu –> Storage–>Object Storage & Archive Storage. Once in that location, select the compartment ...

In this last post from the Oracle Cloud World 2022 series, I’m not going to share anything new, as nothing else was announced on this day. It was mostly just attending sessions around OCI Security, Microservices, Exadata, and last but not least, networking with old and new peers.

So as I sit on the airplane writing this post, a phrase from my favorite author (Stephen ...

Today for me was a hectic day, it started quite early with some client calls, and went on to the late evening with the Oracle ACE Dinner, which I want to give a big shoutout to the ACE team and my peers for all the effort they do to have this great community!

Below are a few takes from my Tuesday:

• OCI is launching Serverless Kubernetes
  A new ...

As my friend Ronald Vargas said ( in Spanish) “I know that everyone defends what they consider unique. We know about great conferences and events around the world, but for me, today #CloudWorld – Oracle Open World before – is the most exciting experience of all.“, and I can convey that this is also true for me.

Oracle made several announcements that directly and indirectly impact what I ...

Normally when you think about a Cloud Architecture, you don’t think about what it can do to help the life of someone else. In simple words ,our work as architects is to gather information on a client’s environment and usage of it and try to optimize the cost and throughput in a cloud IaaS/PaaS/SaaS.

What you don’t tend to see is that this work has a big significance in ...
