Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – Stop your 20c Preview Database Instance Node by OCI CLI now – Great MOS Experience

This was really great experience with the guys from My Oracle Support and Oracle teams. Seven days ago I raised an SR that there was no possibility to stop a 20c Preview database instance node if it’s not in use. No chance to stop a 20c Preview Instance There was no stop action in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure UI and not in OCI CLI. The only way was to terminate an 20c preview instance. If I tried to stop a database node in the OCI CLI, this message occurs: Operation is not allowed for Preview Database version. mbg@LTMBG03:~$ oci db node stop –db-node-id ocid1.dbnode.oc1.eu-zurich-1.ab5heljr6uogrcbvopqvw4ppihq3hl75nh6e1234567891234567 ServiceError: { “code”: “NotAuthorizedOrNotFound”, “message”: “Operation is not allowed for Preview Database version.”, “opc-request-id”: “0627623907F948C6AB50645F4D5086B9/A5A12041A7E77DDD5551AF4146963663/2A14DAC00F90DC2A657DA47E7856F0F1”, “status”:…

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – Network Troubleshooting with VCN Flow Logs

Do have a problem with a connection from or to your private/public subnet? There is a new functionality called VCN Flow Logs available. It collects information about network traffic (source/target) in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN subnet. At the moment (05/03/2020), this functionality is not available in all regions and I did not find any command in OCI CLI, but will be rolled out. There is no documentation available at  docs.cloud.oracle.com. Link to the OCI blog announcement and demo: https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/announcing-vcn-flow-logs-for-oracle-cloud-infrastructure LA I have registered our company tenant for the Cloud Native Limited Availability Program to get this brand new feature available.
