Cloud deployments the cloud way

With everyone talking about “the cloud” and all the advantages the new technology offers, it is about time to introduce these for an Oracle Database Administrator. This session covers automation tools suitable for IaaS deployments. You almost certainly heard “speed to market”, “quicker deployment”, “faster access to resources” when people talked about the cloud. It gets a lot more fuzzy when actually describing these features!

To make best use of the flexibility offered by the cloud, one of the cloud paradigms is to use automation throughout. Tools such as Packer, Terraform and Ansible can help in this respect. After an in-depth introduction to the Terraform/Ansible combination a demo will show how these work in real life. At the end of the session attendees should have a good understanding of Terraform, Ansible, and how to make use of them to create cloud environments. But even if you don’t have a cloud project right now, attending this session can help you improve the way you deploy the Oracle database and other software components locally in your own data centre.
