This blog post specifically explores how to use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for resiliency and high availability for IP-based applications (not DNS-enabled) hosted in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure diverse regions. The scope is limited to IPv4 addresses, but the solution presented also works for IPv6 services with some additional configuration. Most of these applications fall in the IoT application domain. Because of the implementation of ubiquitous connectivity for the...

Companies have increasingly mobile workforces and therefore need to be able to provide their employees with convenient and secure access to their networks. A VPN allows users to connect securely to their networks over the public internet which is a convenient way to support mobility. IPSec VPN can be used to provide a dedicated connection to remote locations. IPSec is used with Network Access Control to make sure that only approved users can connect to the enterprise. The...

Introduction There are several databases and applications running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In addition to other databases, Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database system widely used for online transaction processing and decision support systems. This blog post describes how to deploy a Microsoft SQL Server database running on Microsoft Windows server on a single Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machine (VM). The Microsoft SQL Server installation wizard allows...

Although Oracle Cloud Infrastructure includes firewall capabilities, some customers prefer to run their own custom firewalls. This post describes how to deploy vSRX Virtual Firewall, a Juniper virtual security appliance that provides security and networking services for virtualized private or public cloud environments. In a public cloud environment, vSRX provide benefits like stateful firewall protection, and application and content security features like IPS, antivirus, web...

We are happy to announce that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ansible modules are now available! As more customers deploy applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, we are observing an increased need for DevOps capabilities to automate these operations. Ansible addresses this need by allowing you to provision and configure your resources using automation. The new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ansible modules provide the capabilities to provision and configure your Oracle Cloud...

Users who migrate or integrate on-premises services with a cloud provider like Oracle Cloud Infrastructure usually use IP Security (IPSec) technology to create an encrypted tunnel between environments to transfer data or integrate applications. Using IPSec technology, such as Openswan, enables users to avoid exposing data and applications to the public internet. The goal of this post is to clarify the Openswan and Libreswan IPSec technologies. Openswan is a well-known IPSec...

In my previous blog post, I demonstrated how to deploy Jenkins in a master/slave architecture on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute plugin for Jenkins. This plugin enables you to spin up virtual machine (VM) or bare metal instances as slaves/agents on-demand within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and then tear them down automatically after the job is complete. By spinning up a large number of agents, Jenkins can run many jobs in parallel....

The goal of this blog post is to show how to automate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN peering setup using Terraform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN peering is the process of connecting multiple virtual cloud networks (VCNs). You can use VCN peering to privately connect one VCN to another, so that traffic does not traverse the internet. To setup VCN peering manually, it requires multiple steps with creation of several different resources. So, this blog post describes how...
