Oracle CloudWorld 2023 is back in Las Vegas from Septermber 18th–21st. As always, at CloudWorld you can expect great keynotes, breakout sessions, demos, and a ton of opportunities for meetings and networking. You can also get comprehensive product education for technical end users across all major product areas. You can see the complete agenda in the session catalog.

Oracle and our partners at Ampere have been collaborating on technical innovations, and this blog post provides a sneak peek at some of the content that we’re sharing at Oracle CloudWorld.

Demonstrations and expertise

Visit the Ampere booth (#57) in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) hub to meet with our technical experts and learn how Oracle Ampere A1 can help you deliver up to three-times better price-performance for cloud native workloads. Because of the energy efficiency of Ampere Altra processors, you’re also getting great performance and helping the environment.

We’re also showcasing some cool demos with OCI Ampere A1 compute, including the following examples:

  • Efficiently running object detection model YoloV5 inference

  • Real-time object detection

  • Natural language processing (NLP)

  • Web services

  • Video streaming

Oracle and Ampere sessions

We have several live keynotes and sessions available every day during CloudWorld, including the following recommendations:

“Click to Deploy” Demystified: Add Easy Deploy to Your OCI Stack [LRN3808]

Thursday, September 21, 3:00–3:45 p.m. PT

Speaker: Peter Pouliot, developer advocate at Ampere Computing

If you’ve been using Terraform on OCI, you might not realize that you have a powerful tool to help others utilize your OCI Terraform work. The OCI Resource Manager provides a mechanism for interacting seamlessly with your Terraform code for OCI. Welcome to the “Click to Deploy” button. Ampere has been using the OCI Resource Manager and Terraform stack templates to make it easy for you to deploy complex cloud native applications to Ampere A1 instances on OCI. Learn how Ampere added OCI “Click to Deploy” buttons to their Terraform projects, and how you can add them to your own.

Getting Started with Arm64 on Ampere and Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes [THR4317]

Wednesday, September 20, 11:25–11:45 a.m. PT

Speaker: Dave Neary, director of developer relations at Ampere Computing

Ampere Computing Arm64 instances on OCI offer excellent price-performance advantages over x86 instances, and you don’t need to boil the ocean to get started. Find out how to get started with your migration journey by adding Arm64 instances from Ampere to your existing Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) clusters. See for yourself just how easy it is to switch your cloud native applications managed by Kubernetes to Arm64 hardware, and how much money you can save in the process.

Explore Cloud Native Applications Running at Warp Speed [THR3926]

Thursday, Thursday, Sep 21, 10:15 AM – 10:35 AM PDT

Speaker: Bhakti Hinduja, Senior Principal Software Engineer, Ampere Computing

Running cloud native applications and worried about latencies? Learn about best-in-class cloud native applications and explore how cloud native workloads like NGINX, Redis, and MySQL running on Ampere A1 instances on OCI can surpass legacy x86 instances in power and price performance. We showcase how these workloads have better latencies at high steady-state throughput on Altra instances compared to legacy x86 instances. We also look at application-level performance and what’s required to implement and deploy cloud native applications on OCI.
