Get a Kubernetes Cluster in Minutes on OCI

My first OCI automation project After 10 years of experience with DevOps practices, automation, infrastructure as code, and many customer discussions, I decided to build a tool that helps people deploy a well-defined Kubernetes architecture without needing deep infrastructure expertise. Oracle Kubernetes Engine Deploy project (OKED) OKED helps you deploy a complete Kubernetes infrastructure on OCI, including the required network dependencies, without requiring OCI expertise. The main requirements that motivated me to develop this project are as follows: ...

Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

In this article, we will leverage OCI’s capabilities to the fullest, embracing the following principles: Scalability Resilience Flexibility Security Automation The “loadfileintoadw” project is located in the same GitHub repository used so far to discuss OCI Function fn-examples . This example will help you understand how to integrate multiple OCI services and make the most of the cloud provider. We will simulate a series of weather stations that will write a CSV file with sampling data (temperature, humidity, etc.). The sensor will automatically upload the file to an Object Storage bucket. ...

Accessing an Autonomous Database from an OCI Function

Accessing an Autonomous Database from an OCI Function

After seeing how to create a custom image, in the previous case where we installed the Oracle client, now let’s try to use this custom image to connect to an Oracle database. We will make the most of the cloud capabilities. In this example, we will use the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodology to provide a real example of an easily replicable architecture for everyone. The “toautonomous” project is in the same GitHub repository used so far to talk about OCI Function fn-examples . The project’s README describes the infrastructure configuration procedure. ...

Trigger a function by Object Storage

Trigger a function by Object Storage

The OCI Function service allows you to run code on infrastructure that you don’t have to manage. In this link I presented a basic example of an OCI function developed in Python. A very interesting feature is that functions can be automatically invoked by other services through an event, so we can also execute code in response to an action in the OCI cloud, or use a function as a link between multiple cloud services that can form a complex workload. ...
