Hey [subscriber:firstname | default:subscriber],
|
Few interesting announcements! PDB cloning is now available for VM DBCS which I will drill down below.
|
Larry was announcing Oracle Support Rewards on Tuesday, I'm really hoping this would be catalyst for those who are doubting something on financials to think on migrating/starting to use OCI. There's a good detailed post on the Support Rewards and what it means here.
|
More you use on OCI, the more discount you get for your license fees! So depending on the size of your infrastructure or OCI usage, this could be a large sum. Hopefully this encourages people to start bringing other workloads to OCI as well apart from legacy ones.
|
|
What's new?
|
Let's talk about Pluggable Databases! Earlier if you provisioned VM DBCS you had the pluggable database created but anything after that you had to do manually. Well no more! Now you can create, delete and clone PDBs through APIs or Console.
|
|
This is awesome! More functionality supported by tooling just makes generic operational things easier. When these are supported by APIs then operations are done in similar fashion each time. Less errors!

Did I mention Java Management Service already earlier, now here's the official announcement! It basically gives you an overview what versions you are running and if they're missing any security updates etc.
|
|
Really useful for those implementations where you have different versions of Java installed here and there for different purposes.

Terraform 1.0 is out and OCI Resource Manager supports it too! Feels like we've used Terraform for ages so getting to 1.0 sounds odd. You can more and more cool stuff for more advanced use cases with it so it's getting just better and better. I wonder where we are with Terraform in few years?

It just shows how easy it's to use the service.

Super interesting series of post on A-Team page about Governance.

I somehow missed this A-Team post on building encrypted channels on OCI earlier. Lot's of interesting stuff on TLS!

Niranjan wrote about new OCI DRGv2 capabilities together with Azure Interconnect. I've already seen multiple customer cases where we've had huge benefits on DRGv2 and how it enables us to do more advanced routing.
