Hey [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
Feels like I should change the title to Monthly Newsletter lately! Very quiet weeks without much to write and now we get couple new major new features out so all good again!
|
Checkout OCI Service Mesh, VTAP and also some interesting blog posts.
|
I saw on Twitter that Oracle is planning to release certification for OCI Data Science in May, interesting!
|
Before I forget, I got a really good advice from Twitter when I was asking about ExaCS scaling capabilities and how they need to be scripted. Did you know there's a script/tool for that which you can find in MOS?
|
(ODyS) Oracle Dynamic Scaling engine - Scale-up and Scale-down automation utility for OCI DB System (ExaCS/ExaC@C) (Doc ID 2719916.1)
|
|
What's new?
|
OCI Service Mesh is now available for everyone! You can add features to your cloud native microservice applications. You can manage security, control traffic and add observability features through your application code.
|
|
|
Another major feature is VTAP (Virtual Testing Access Point) being available. With VTAP you can mirror your traffic in VCN to another endpoint which collects and analyzes the traffic. Collector can be for example third party product like Palo Alto.
|
I see constant demand on security and observability features with network so this is welcomed addition to what OCI offers. Will be interesting to see how we need to adjust our way of designing systems.
|
As of right now, VTAP sources can be:
|
- A single compute instance VNIC in a subnet
- A Load Balancer
- A Database system
- An Exadata VM Cluster
- An Autonomous Data Warehouse instance using a private endpoint
VTAP documentation is here.

If you're using OCI US Gov Cloud, then last weeks have been a treat! Bunch of services got approved to be used with Gov Cloud.
|
- Autonomous Database (on shared or dedicated Exadata infrastructure)
- Data Catalog
- Logging
- Oracle Integration Cloud
- Service Connector Hub
- VCN Flow Logs
|
|
Pretty cool integration and something one would wish cloud would enable us to do!
|
|
|
|
|
Still great that they're using ZDM there, if you're familiar with ZDM them using OCI DMS will be easy too!

If you worked with OCI FastConnect, you probably have gone few discussions if the bandwidth is sufficient or if there are any problems with it. This two post series has some details on how to increase throughput on FastConnect.
