Setting up Cloud Environments using the Web UI is only the second-best option. The method of choice is Scripting. While HashiCorps Terraform has become the lingua franca for defining large setups, it appears to be a bit unwieldy for small changes. Oracle provides the OCI Command Line Interface (CLI) as OpenSource on GitHub, which is ideal for those small changes.

This talk introduces to Scripting with the OCI CLI. It walks through the process of setting it up. A quick orientation is followed by a deep dive in the command line and JSON Parameters. Tips and Tricks as well as common caveats an how to avoid them lead to the conclusion. The presentation contains a live demo. All Demos are available for download.

The most on-premises installations of Oracle databases are not using all available Oracle database packs and features. The reasons behind that could be different but one factor is always there and it is the cost. In Oracle cloud depending on service and edition, you may have a different set of features already included in the subscription. In such a case it is worth verifying and consider the new options since you are already paying for them.  And, who knows, maybe the availability of all those features will make migration to the cloud way more attractive and be one of the main drivers for your decision to move to the Oracle cloud.
