Vom 19. bis zum 22. November 2024 war Nürnberg einmal mehr der Treffpunkt für Oracle-Experten, Anwender und Partner. Aber nicht nur Oracle war Thema, auch PostgreSQL, Soft Skills und vieles mehr stand auf der Agenda. Die DOAG Konferenz bot auch in diesem Jahr eine Plattform, um Wissen auszutauschen, neue Entwicklungen zu präsentieren und Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ich hatte die Ehre, selbst mit vier Vorträgen vertreten zu sein und meine Erfahrungen rund um Themen wie Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Security, Automation mit Oracle Linux Automation Manager, sowie Red Hat Ansible Automation zu teilen. Meine Vorträge und Highlights Es ist immer ein besonderes Erlebnis, vor einem grossen Publikum zu sprechen, und die Sessions in den gut gefüllten Räumen haben gezeigt, dass das Interesse…

Getting started with Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure – Pay-As-You-Go | Part 1: Subscription
In early September, an exciting development was announced on azure.microsoft.com: Oracle Autonomous Database is now available on Azure as a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) offering. This marks a significant shift from the previous approach, where customers were required to engage with Oracle’s sales team to secure a private offering for Oracle Autonomous Database on Azure. The introduction of the PAYG model means that businesses can now directly access Oracle Autonomous Database as a native Azure resource without the need for extensive sales negotiations or long-term commitments. This streamlined process significantly reduces barriers to entry, making it easier than ever for organizations to leverage the power of Oracle’s Autonomous Database in the Azure cloud ecosystem. While the traditional private offer process is still…
Read MoreUsing Oracle Linux 8.10 in WSL for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ansible Collection
In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of setting up Oracle Linux 8.10 in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to effectively work with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Ansible Collection. We’ll cover installation, necessary packages, OCI CLI setup, and a test of the setup. One of the great features of WSL is its seamless integration with Visual Studio Code (VS Code). This powerful code editor provides excellent support for remote development, allowing you to edit files, run commands, and manage your environment directly within the editor.

Read MoreOracle Cloud Infrastructure – Cleanup Vulnerability Scan Reports
Sometimes it’s hard to cleanup old unused compartments. There are a lot of resources still available, and some of them like the CSS scans from Vulnerability Scanning are not visible in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console. But for most of them, there is a command-line solution available for OCI command-line tool or you can solve it with some line of codes in Python. And when using the OCI Cloud Console, you can execute the code immediately without provisioning any additional server. The Case – Compartment Delete Workflow failed When verifying the workflow, we see the deletion is failed according some resource leftovers. We must delete them all before the compartment deletion workflow runs well. There are other resources like Management Dashboard…
Read MoreOracle Cloud Infrastructure – Configuring Network Access with Access Control Rules (ACLs)
When running Autonomous Databases (ADB) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it’s crucial to prioritize security, even for development and test environments. Allowing unrestricted public access (0.0.0.0/0) is not a secure solution and should be avoided. To ensure that only trusted sources can access your databases, you can restrict access to specific IP addresses and Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs). To enhance security, I configured my ADB to allow access only from specified IP addresses and VCNs. This approach ensures that only authorized users can connect to the database. My next step was to add the public IP address of my workstation to the ADB’s access control rules, so I can securely manage the database from my current location. While the OCI…
