Hi [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
Hope your Friday has been going on smoothly so far, it's been again two weeks since last newsletter and much has happened!
|
And Flexible shapes now support flexible memory, configuring all those weird configurations you think is needed is now possible. I've mentioned it before that I kinda like pre-defined shapes as they don't give you too much room to play around but for many this will be good improvement.
|
New Features
|
So Flexible shapes got even more flexible! You can customize the amount of memory allocated to a compute instance. Some limitations still exist, minimum memory is always the amount of OCPUs allocated. So 2 OCPUs, 2 GB memory is minimum.
|
Also each OCPU will support up to 64 GB of memory while maximum is 1024GB. Read details from documentation.
|
|
|
BYOIP! Meaning you can now bring your own CIDR block and use it for your OCI VCN's / subnets and resources spawned in that VCN will use your CIDR block.
|
There are some validations and limitations which the documentation has nicely listed. Some potential use cases listed are: Lift & Shift Migrations, hard-coded dependencies, service differentiation and IP reputation.
|
This should be welcomed improvement for some existing and (hopefully) many new customers.

Richard has made updates to OCI Autoscaling script, it's even more super it was earlier! Now supports ExaCS and Load Balancer scaling! I wonder if part of this would move to be an actual feature in OCI? Hmm..

He also has nice collection of links if you want to learn more about VMware on OCI.
