Before creating database I will create jump host on public subnet so we will be able to access our database once it’s created. If I would have connection setup to our corporate network I could access the private subnet directly if my network configuration would allow it. This way I can limit the surface on…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 7: Subnets
Now we have everything else setup on the network side apart from subnets. Subnets are continuous IP address blocks which don’t overlap with any other subnet IP address block in your VCN. Things to remember: As time of writing this Oracle has released new functionality regarding subnets, regional subnets. Earlier each subnet was tied in…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 6: Security Lists
Before we can create the subnets we still need to create security lists. They will control what ingress and egress traffic will be allowed within subnets. I will create two security lists for this project, one for private subnet and another one for public subnet. Security lists can have have multiple rules in them and…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 3: VCN
Now after we have compartment where to place resources we are ready to create Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Since previous post was about compartments and how they logically group your resources one way to think is that a VCN groups your network resources together. You can read part 2 from here. VCN is relatively simple…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 2: Compartments
Read part 1 from here. What we need first is a compartment where we will create our resources. Using compartments is a way to isolate and separate access to your resources within your tenancy. In this example we will create only one compartment where we will have all our resources. If you have larger setup…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 1: Setup
One of my old colleague whom I had pleasure to work with many years ago asked recently if there would be guide on getting a database running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform using Infrastructure as Code. That led me to an idea that I could write such guide and describe each step why it’s…
Setting up network for e-Business Suite in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Setting up network for e-Business Suite in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure This post will be on how we did setup our network when the requirement was to deploy one Exadata and several application servers for our test environments. I’ll go through each components and then what was the setup on Terraform to get everything up and…
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and provisioning Exadata part 1
One of the biggest reasons we started to use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure was that we could get Exadata provisioned for our use. We already had on-premise setup but to get similar setup in the cloud was important. I’m going to write a two part series on provisioning Exadata. On this first part I’ll discuss on…
Different environments and Terraform workspaces with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
While we want to provision most of the things through Infrastructure as Code and use Terraform with our Oracle Cloud Infrastructure we also had to make sure each change will be properly tested before moving to production. So what is a convenient way of deploying your infrastructure with different variables to different environments? If you…
OCI block volumes and Terraform
So we already know how to spin up instances with and without Terraform but what about when you need to attach a block volume to your fresh instance which you’ve created? You have an option to login to console and just add either paravirtualized or iscsi volume to your compute instance. If you add paravirtualized…
