Course Description
I will be looking to delve deeper into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and demystify the entire dilemma around this.
We will start with the very basics like : What is Cloud Computing , What are the Types of Cloud : Pubic / Private / Hybrid? What are the meanings of the important acronyms like IaaS/ PaaS/ SaaS.
A good understanding will be given about Oracle Cloud , it's Subscription Models , Demos will be done to show the Sign-up & Sign-in to Oracle Cloud.
Then the discussion will move onto the OCI (Second Generation Cloud ) .Will perform a Deep Dive into the Architecture of OCI. We will take a look into important concepts like : What are Compartments / VCN's / Availability Domains / Shapes& OCPu's. A couple of demos for the creation of Compartments / VCN's will be done.
The next milestone would be getting an understanding around Database Cloud Services like : ODCS / Exadata Service / Exadata Cloud@Customer. After this we shall perform demos : Provisioning Database in OCI & OCI-Classic
The last milestone would be related to Understanding ssh connectivity, There will be Demos showing how you create public / Private keys in Unix & Windows , Demo showing the ssh connectivity from Windows server & Unix Sever will be done. Will demonstrate how to connect as Admin User / Root on Oracle Cloud Machines. In the end we will challenge ourselves and will connect AWS EC-2 machine in Amazon cloud to Oracle Database in Oracle Cloud. The last demo will be on Sql Developer connectivity using the SSH Tunnels where the listener port 1521 has been blocked.
