Now when we have created IGW and NAT GW on previous post it’s time to create route tables which will send traffic outside from your VCN to the destination you require. It can be for example to your on-premise network (via DRG) or to object storage (via Service GW). Or it can be towards public…
Series – Get your database running with Terraform part 4: IGW and NAT GW
Previous part three on creating VCN can be found from here. Now let’s start with basics. What are IGW and NAT GW. Internet Gateway (IGW) in OCI is the connection point which routes your VCN traffic from and to public Internet depending on what traffic you allow through your security lists. If you use an…
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…
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and provisioning Exadata part 2
This is part 2 on provisioning Exadata on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you can read part 1 from here. In this post I will focus on what the overall system looks like and database creation. After provisioning the Exadata you have it available in the console and can start using it. We had the 1/4 quarter…
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…

First time I’m taking part of Oracle Development Community Appreciation Day which Tim Hall has created to post about technology you use daily. My topic will be Terraform which is still fairly new technology for me after having used it only for around a year now. But what a game changer it has been! I…
