Hi [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
Only few notable new features in the last couple weeks, that's also why there wasn't a newsletter last week. But here we are!
Richard has excellent OCI Autoscale script available which I wanted to highlight here already. I wish they would have similar functionality existing without scripts! And take a look on the OKIT, I definitely urge you to test it out!
I've also continued my OCI New Features series, in the second episode I dive into Object Storage bucket replication between regions.

New Features
You can now detect drift within your stack if you use OCI Resource Manager. Drift is when the stack you created with Terraform doesn't match reality anymore meaning someone changed something outside your stack. But who would do so.. nobody?
We also saw rise of OKIT - OCI Developer Toolkit, I played around with it and it has lot of potential! You can draw OCI diagrams and based on those the toolkit will create Terraform scripts so you can deploy your design to OCI. Really great idea! Very early stage still but definitely worth testing.
New version of OCI Ansible Modules! For all you people loving Ansible it makes life easier with OCI.
You can now migrate your Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle Process Cloud Service, and Oracle Integration Cloud Service applications to an existing Oracle Integration instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Application Migration. So something completely new!

Question of the week
Last time I asked:
What is a cooldown period when we talk about Autoscaling?
Answer: Cooldown is time when you are not seeing any scaling events, system will wait things to stabilize before doing another scaling event. In OCI minimum time for this is 300 seconds (which is sort of long..)
Question this week:
How do you control who can access your File Storage Service mounts?
