Oracle is embracing Docker – just like many other companies – as the de-facto standard in Container technologies. It has resulted in the certification of various Oracle products for running in Docker containers and even Oracle supported Docker images are available. Furthermore, Oracle offers 2 Cloud Service around containers: the Container Cloud Service is a generic service that offers a platform for running your containers. Next to that, Oracle offers the Application...

This article deals with Docker and its usage in the cloud. The first part gives a brief and easy to understand introduction to Docker and motivates its usage as a PaaS service. The second part introduces the Oracle Container Cloud Service (OCCS) and explains the key components of OCCS. Docker Docker has been a tremendous success over the last three years. From an almost unknown and rather technical open source technology in 2014, it has evolved into a standardized runtime...

In previous posts, I’ve focused on the components around BAM (starting with Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM). Now is will start with a number of posts that are related to the components of BAM. Hereby I will use the image below. The image comes from the BAM documentation of Oracle. This post will mainly be about Data objects. A BAM data object models data for use within BAM. It contains the data to be monitored. The data can be saved in raw format in a database or in an...

Oracle Application Container Cloud service allows for microservices to be hosted using programming languages like Java SE, NodeJS, PHP and Python. Future plans include support for Ruby. An earlier post provided an overview and compared this to Oracle Container Cloud Service. The applications run in a Docker container behind the scenes and is expected to expose a service port. By configuring metadata, access can be setup to other Oracle Cloud services like database, storage,...

Recently I did a POC with BAM 12c at the customer. In a series of post’s I will describe my findings/experiences. In the first post I described the initial situation (Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM). And in the second post I described the solutions we have recognised/examined to make Management Information (MI) available to the ACM implementation. During this examination we also looked in detail to the BAM database. The relevant findings of this are described in...

As Mike Lehmann explained in Caching with Oracle Application Container Cloud, you simply specify the amount of memory you want to cache and whether you just need basic non-HA cache for dev/test or reliable caching for production and the appropriate infrastructure is automatically provisioned. Under the Hood The ACCS Application Cache is built on the highly...
