Oracle Dedicated Region

Yesterday we had the official launch of the Oracle Dedicated Region. Let’s see a little bit about this service.

 

What is Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer?

 

Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer is a fully-managed cloud region built with Oracle-designed high-performance infrastructure to help customers bring ALL second generation cloud primitives and services closer to existing data and applications. Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer brings best-in-class price-performance and security to mission-critical workloads that are unlikely to move to the public cloud for several years.
Additionally, Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer is certified to seamlessly run Oracle Cloud applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications (Cloud ERP, Cloud HCM, Cloud SCM, and Cloud CX, making it a completely integrated cloud experience on-premises. Customers only pay for services they consume using the same predictable low pricing offered in Oracle’s public cloud regions.
 
In which countries is Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer available?

 

Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer is available in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States.
 
The Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer requires a minimum commitment of $6M/year in consumption over a three-year period.

 

Highlights:

– Fully Managed Cloud Region at Cloud@Customer.
– All capabilities of Public Cloud Services.
– Strong Isolation to customer data.
– More then 50 Services available
– No change in pricing & capabilities
– Oracle Managed maintenance & Ops
– Physical & data security in customer control.
– Better then AWS Outpost – Provides Limited set of offerings.
– Mission-Critical, latency-sensitive application
– All (100%) Gen2 Services available to Customer Datacenter
– Fusion, Autonomous DB & Cloud Applications to Cloud@Customer
– Consumption based Model – Pay what you use
– Cloud Services, API’s, SLA as per Public Cloud.
 

 

With the update to the consumption-based Cloud@Customer, Oracle looks to advance its position in a hybrid cloud market increasingly contested by hyper-scalers.

 

I hope this helps you!!!

New Feature – Per-Second Billing for Compute and Autonomous Database.
Category: Cloud Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 5 years ago Comments: 0

New Feature - Per-Second Billing for Compute and Autonomous Database.

Oracle this month announced a new form of billing for Compute Instance and Autonomous Database with that the Oracle Cloud has a stronger platform for legacy applications moving to cloud and a new family of cloud native applications that rely on microservices and dynamic scaling.
 
Compute instances are now billed per second of usage, rather than per hour. This helps you reduce costs when using instances for short amounts of time. Virtual machine (VM) instances have a minimum charge of one minute. Bare metal instances have a minimum charge of one hour. After the first minute (for VMs) or the first hour (for bare metal instances), usage is billed in one-second increments.
 
With this billing model, usage of Compute and Autonomous Database is billed per-second. All prices continue to be quoted on an hourly basis.
Here are some details about this billing model:
 
  • All virtual machine (VM) Compute instances, including those with graphical processing unit (GPU) chips, are now billed per-second with a one-minute minimum.
 
  • All bare metal Compute instances, including those with GPU chips, are now billed per-second with a one-hour minimum.
 
  • Autonomous Data Warehouse and Autonomous Transaction Processing usage is now billed per-second with a one-minute minimum.
 
  • Windows OS images are now billed per-second with a one-minute minimum.
 
  • Microsoft SQL Server images available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace are now billed per-second with a 744-hour (one month) minimum.
 
 
The workloads that will see the biggest impact from this change are those that stop and start frequently, and those that run for short durations. Here are some examples of significant benefits:
 
 
I believe that with this, Oracle increasingly invests and provides more resources and different ways for its customers to be able to plan and prepare their environments for the cloud.

I hope this short article has helped.

Clone Autonomous Database
Category: Cloud Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 5 years ago Comments: 0

Clone Autonomous Database

This article describes how to clone an existing Autonomous Database using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.  You may wish to use the cloning feature to create a point-in-time copy of your Autonomous Database for purposes such as testing, development or analytics. If you need to clone only the database schema of your source database, the “metadata clone” option is a quick and easy way to accomplish this task.
 
 Log into Oracle Cloud and click the “Create an ATP database” link.
Fill in the information and select the options to create the ATP instance.
 
Choose a compartment: dbadutra(root)
Display name: DBCLONE
Database name: DBCLONE
Choose a workload type: Transaction Processing
Choose a deployment type: Shared Infrastructure
Configure the database:  In this case, as we use Always Free we can’t change the CPU and Storage size.
Create administrator credentials: OracleATP2020        
Choose a license type: In this case select License Included
 
After you have filled everything in, click  “Create Autonomous Database”
Wait a few minutes for ATP creation

 

 

Now select in menu “Autonomous Transaction Processing”

 

Click in “DBCLONE”
In the “Actions” menu click on “Create Clone”
Now let’s create a clone of our ATP, filling in the information below.
 
Clone Type:  In this option, we can choose a complete clone or just the structure without data. In this case we will select Full Clone.
Configure clone source: In this option we can choose a clone from the Database Instance or using a Backup to perform this clone and can perform a point in time recovery.
In this case, we will use the clone from the Database Instance.
Create In Compartment: dbadutra (root)
Display name: Clone of DBCLONE
Database name: DBCLONE2
Configure the database: In this case, as I use Always Free, we can’t change the CPU and Storage size.
Create administrator credentials: OracleATP2020        
Choose a license type: In this case select License Included
Now click on “Create Autonomous Database Clone”
 
 
Wait a few minutes for Clone ATP creation
Ready your clone is created and available for use.
To learn more on the Autonomous Database Clone Check here:

Oracle Cloud Certifications News
Category: Cloud Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 5 years ago Comments: 0

Oracle Cloud Certification News

 
Today we are going to talk a little about certification and some changes, I think it’s a cool theme for those looking to study to get a certification in Oracle Cloud.
We can see that several exams from Oracle’s Cloud universe are constantly updated, I’m using as an example the part of Oracle Cloud Infratructure Services, where 2 new certification levels were released.
Can we see that the 1Z0-932 and 1Z0-1072 test are the same concepts but what are the main differences?
There is not much difference in the content of both the certifications (Modules are the same).
 
The 1Z0-932 is the 2018 version of the Architect Associate certification.
 
The 1Z0-1072 certification is the 2019 version of the Architect Associate Exam. You’ll get the questions for all the changes which have been done in 2018 to till now.
In September 2019, 1Z0-997 was launched, where the practical experience and knowledge needed to plan, design, implement and operate solutions in OCI is charged. The skills validated by this certification include:
 
  • Plan and design solutions; implement and operate solutions;
  • Design, implement and operate databases;
  • Design for hybrid cloud architecture;
  • Migrate on-premises workloads to OCI;
  • Design for Security and Compliance
 
Finally to 1Z0-1067, comes to charge the knowledge required to Automate Cloud tasks, Tune Performance, Troubleshoot, manage cost, manage security and compliance policies, Monitor and Alert OCI, Implement Data Retention and Archival, creating shell scripts with the Command Line Interface (CLI) and design Cloud-scale Agility on OCI.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services
 
  • 1Z0-932 – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2018 Architect Associate
  • 1Z0-1072 – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Associate
  • 1Z0-997 – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Architect Professional
  • 1Z0-1067 – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Cloud Operations Associate
If you haven’t done any OCI certification yet & are planning to take the exam, is need attention in the new Recertification policy.
Cloud Certifications
Oracle Cloud Certification credentials are valid for a period of 18 months from the date you earn the credential. The credential will become inactive at the end of 18 months. Oracle requires candidates to hold an active credential in order to access certain certification benefits including, without limitation, use of Oracle certification logos, eCertificates, score reports, digital badges and certification verification. To stay current, candidates must re-certify themselves with the latest version of the exam. Oracle Cloud Certifications include Oracle Certified Associate, Specialist and Professional titles. Oracle Cloud Certifications are updated continuously throughout the year to keep current with major product and service releases, and re-released on an annual basis with a new title.
Note:
(1) Credentials earned by passing 2019/future exams after 12-Sep-2019 will remain active for 18 months from the date of earning them
(2) Credentials earned by passing 2019 exams on or before 12-Sep-2019 will remain active till 12-Mar-2021
(3) Credentials earned by passing 2018/older exams will remain active till 01-Jun-2020
 
I hope this helps you!!!
