Since over one and a half year, this week I was back in an onsite training, live people, live teaching. With a motivated junior DBA class, we started with all about Oracle architecture based on our Trivadis training O-AI – Oracle Architecture and Internals. The training is a mix between slides, demos and labs. Therefore during the course we run the training environments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, build by Terraform (Credits to Stefan Oehrli from oradba.ch which has ramped up…

MV2OCI – One-Click Move of your Data into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database
mv2oci is a tool which helps to migrate on-premise data to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure based on Oracle Data Pump and works as a data load tool. The local Data Pump export is transferred and imported to/on the target cloud server automatically.

Read MoreOracle Cloud Infrastructure and SSH Keys – Jump!
Jump! In our Trivadis Oracle Cloud Infrastructure training environments, we never use direct access to an application or database server by a public IP address. For this case, we use an Oracle Linux based bastion host which acts as a jump host. For security reasons, I never put any SSH keys on a bastion host to connect from there to the target instances. If your bastion host is compromitted, your SSH keys are lost! In one of the last trainings,…
