Read MoreGetting started with Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure – Pay-As-You-Go | Part 2: Provisioning
In blog post Part 1, I described how to subscribe to the PAYG service to use the Oracle Autonomous Database in Azure. Now it’s time to provision a new ADB. As prerequisites, a resource group, a virtual network and several subnets are created. When provisioning an Autonomous Database on Oracle Database@Azure, it is essential to use a delegated subnet. A delegated subnet is a subnet within a virtual network that is specifically designated for use by a particular service. Using a delegated subnet ensures enhanced security, better network control, simplified management, compliance, and optimized performance, making it an ideal choice for modern database provisioning. Overview This is the entry point, click on Create Autonomous Database. Basics When deploying an Autonomous Database…
Read MoreGetting 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…

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…
