Hey [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
You're reading issue #100 of the OCI Newsletter! It's been almost three years since I started so thanks for being part of the ride. :)
|
I've decided to switch publishing day to Monday which fits better on my current schedule, so expect to read this from now on fresh on early morning Monday!
|
I promised to release my top 5 features from last year on the previous newsletter, still working on that.. hopefully have it out next week.
|
|
What's new?
|
You can scale RECO and DATA separately on VM DBCS instances now! Previously if you needed large RECO the only way to do this.. was to pump up the whole storage which might have caused you to have huge DATA partition just for..nothing!
|
This will help on several different use cases when you plan your DBCS usage.

Official announcement here.

|
Visual Builder is now available! You can use it to develop and manage mobile and web applications. Haven't tried this one so you have to do some research to see how it works!

I've been saying for long time that while OCI has lot of great functionality it's been missing some basic features for operations which still requires lot of manual work. These are really good improvements for DBAs.

I would love to see something around DNS for failovers as well for any database system. How are you handling those as of today? One option is always to have custom DNS on top of Scan DNS which is used for connectivity.

Lucas has few posts on OCI Go SDK. First post is about authenticating with instance principals. Funny, I had same struggle earlier where I had hard time finding out how to do the authentication but seems it's pretty straightforward!
