Join us for our monthly Cloud Computing SIG meeting!

“Modern app dev and microservice architectures have made observability an absolutely critical requirement for DevOps. Currently, there are a number of disparate tools which can make this difficult and inefficient. Furthermore, app and database observability tools are currently quite different and separate, as are on-prem and cloud-based tools. Grafana provides a single-pane-of-glass view of metrics, logs, and tracing with the ability to correlate and drill-down between them. Further, Oracle’s open source Unified Observability Exporters provide metrics, logs, and tracing into the database thus providing a highly-customizable end-to-end observability experience that is unique in the industry and entirely cloud native. In this session, we will describe the details of this solution and the simplicity involved in setting it up.”

Part I: Virtualizing and Provisioning the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance

In this article, we will learn how to prepare the ZFS storage appliance for the use of Oracle 19c RAC with ASM. ZFS appliance originally is a storage appliance from Oracle and falls under the family of Engineered Systems, but in our demonstration, we will see how to prepare the ZFS Storage Appliance virtual machine and also how to configure the Oracle ZFS appliance from the scratch and to ensure the readiness of the appliance, so that Oracle Grid and RDBMS can be installed.

In this article, we will learn about the concepts of AutoUpgrade, a 19c new feature, and also we will do an upgrade of the Oracle Database from 12.2 to 21.3 using the new AutoUpgrade tool on the Linux Platform.

DevOps doesn’t need nor would they use all the functionality Enterprise Manager has to offer. Yet, DevOps is often called upon to perform some database management tasks for Oracle Databases (Standard and Enterprise Edition) in the Oracle Cloud or on other vendors clouds. So, it makes sense for them to use a solution that can complement and take advantage of EM, whether or not it’s already in use within the business. To address evolving database management needs, Oracle now also provides the Oracle Cloud based Database Management Service. Attend this session to learn how this cloud-based service enables the user to perform database management activities within minutes of subscription to perform a variety of on-demand work when needed whether databases are on-premises or in the cloud.

Oracle Database accepts several different authentication methods – each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Join us to review database authentication, appropriate use cases, and how you can use authentication methods to reduce risk and improve security.

For readers who are familiar with the Asterix and Obelix series, the magic potion refers to the potion brewed by Getafix, that gives the Gaulish warriors superhuman strength.

One of VMware’s magic potions for Oracle workloads is the ‘Paravirtualized SCSI Controllers a.k.a PVSCSI Controllers’ which is accelerated workloads performance on a VMware vSphere Platform.

This blog is meant to raise awareness of the importance of using PVSCSI adapters with adequate Queue Depth settings for an Oracle workload.

Oracle introduced the feature of database sharding in 12.2 and has since been refining it. The purpose of this article is for the reader to understanding database sharding. This includes general concepts of sharding as well as the concepts, architecture, and how to use Oracle Sharding.

Oracle’s Autonomous Database was first released in 2019, initially on 18c and now upgraded to 19c. This paper will go over some of the basic concepts and features of Autonomous Database and walk you through a primer on setting up and deploying an Autonomous Database on the Oracle Cloud.
