I recently came across requirement to get OCI Oracle Autonomous Database audit logs to OCI Logging Service, mainly due to getting them to external SIEM system. Typically once we get the logs to Logging, we can use OCI Service Connector…
Last time I showed how to provision Autonomous Database Serverless (ADB-S) on Google Cloud. This time I have provisioned a new ADB and want to see how I can connect from my VM running on the same VPC as the…
I bet few years back folks didn’t expect that by 2024 we would be able to provision OCI resources in other clouds. Last year the announcement for Azure and this year announcements for GCP and AWS have been really exciting…

Now we’re going to follow the initial design I laid out here. We already have networking provisioned, so next step will be to use OCI Console and provision our OCI Network Firewall. Once we’ve provisioned it, I’ll see what happens…
