Hey [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
Happy Friday! Seems Oracle is releasing on two week cycle so last week being quiet and this week being packed with stuff!
|
Some of the new features will change how you design your systems so documentation on Network Load Balancer and Reserved Capacity is definitely worth browsing through!
|
|
Check out the community posts out there, there's also interesting open source tooling available for OKE!
|
|
What's new?
|
Let's talk about Network Load Balancer, did I mention it's free? I don't want to give Oracle too much credit, their pricing might seem complicated since there are so many resources what you aren't charged for!
|
You can provision either public or private NLB without any bandwith configuration requirements. It supports TCP, UDP or both - to specific backend ports or if you choose TCP/UDP with port 0, then all traffic will be forwarded. There's a use case for that if you for example use firewall appliances and want to load balance traffic - this has been constant ask what I've been hearing so it's great to see it available! Below picture has good example on it. (Picture stolen from official documentation!)

Reserved Capacity! Cool thing here is that there are no size or time commitments. So you don't need to pay years worth of capacity if you need it only for couple of months. That is of course, if you have it available!
|
So, key thing would to find balance when to reserve that capacity which you need on day X without paying for it 6 months early 85% of the actual cost.
|
In a way, I'd also argue that should we be concerned about capacity in general? Is this Oracle's way of saying we don't know what will happen with our Region capacity so you should be reserving things just in case?

Official announcement post is also here.

OCI Marketplace supports community images! This will be really cool thing in the long run, you can create images available for everyone. Hopefully we will see some good images for everyones availability! Custom Developer image FTW!

I'm excited on this post of mine, DNS with Transit Networking! It's first part of the series and goes through basics of DNS between VCNs. Hopefully it gives you good idea what you can do with it, I'll include Custom DNS in the upcoming posts which is more common amongst implementations.
