The Oracle Cloud Cookbook

 

 

 

The Oracle Cloud Cookbook is an on-line resource to assist our customers, prospects and partners to plan, design, deploy and support internal, external and hybrid Oracle clouds using Oracle VM for x86 managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager and Open Source solutions. This book assumes that the reader has an architectural understanding of cloud computing, Oracle technologies, storage and network systems, and related software.

 

The Oracle Cloud Cookbook intends to articulate the design considerations and validation efforts required to design, install, deploy and support Oracle VM for x86 with Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines hosting Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies and Oracle Applications managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager and Open Source solutions in internal, external and hybrid clouds.

Welcome to the first edition of the Oracle Cloud Cookbook. Our goal with the Oracle Cloud Cookbook is to create a comprehensive resource to assist our customers, prospects and partners to plan, design, deploy and support internal, external and hybrid Oracle clouds using Oracle VM for x86 with Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines hosting Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies and Oracle Applications managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager and Open Source solutions. The Oracle Cloud Cookbook will cover the following cloud delivery models; Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Database as a Service (DaaS), and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

 

The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) chapters review how to provision and deliver fundamental computing resources using Oracle Linux virtual machines as a service to consumers using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c self service portal. The Platform as a Service (PaaS) sections review how to deliver Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies as a service to consumers using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c self service portal. The Software as a Service (SaaS) sections reviews how to design and deploy Oracle SGD to allow secure remote access over the LAN, WAN and Internet to Oracle Applications hosted in private, public and hybrid Oracle clouds. The Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) sections review how to plan, deploy, support an Oracle Disaster Recovery as a Service solution in private, public and hybrid Oracle clouds.
