In my previous blog posts (here and here), I wrote about how to create a base box and a create and start a virtual machine out of it. I started with provisioning, to have the vagrant user adapt the kernel settings, add a install user/owner and create a filesystem on an added disk. Now let's make the provisioning a bit more interesting and install actual software in it. Prepare new Vagrant project For this article I copied the project created from the previous blog. I called...

Two of my favorite Oracle Cloud services are Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service (Exadata Express) and Oracle Application Container Cloud. Exadata Express is a fully managed Oracle Database service at an entry-level price point for small-to-medium-sized data, and Oracle Application Container Cloud is a lightweight infrastructure that provides an easy way to deploy apps in Docker containers. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to connect these two at the most basic...

The Fn team is committed to open standards and to integrating and interoperating with other open source projects. And with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s KubeCon EU 2018 taking place this week in Copenhagen we’d like to announce two new exciting developments: support for the upcoming CloudEvents specification and integration with the Serverless Framework. The CloudEvents specification is being developed by the CNCF Serverless working group to define a common event...

It’s a bit controversial to say ‘Microservices are not simple’ given much is said about using Microservices to simplify and accelerate software delivery. So, how can this statement be made? It is a point actually stated in Chris Richardson’s excellent new book Microservice Patterns (avalable here and here), indirectly in Eric Evan’s Domain Driven Design (here). Martin Fowler in one his blogs says that they come at a premium (here). So, I’m not the first to say this, and wont...

In a previous blog, I explained how to provision a new Kubernetes environment locally on physical or virtual machines, as well as remotely in the Oracle Public Cloud. In this workshop, I am going to show how to get started by deploying and running a Hello World NodeJS application into it. There are a few moving parts involved in this exercise: · Using an Ubuntu Vagrant box, I’ll ask you to git clone a “Hello World NodeJS App”. It will come with its Dockerfile to be easily...

Join Link Consulting and Oracle for a Developer Meetup in Lisbon. Schedule: Thursday, February 28, 2019 Every now and then there’s a paradigm change in how we interact with computers. Chatbots have already conquered their own market place but, as usual, technology never ceases to amaze us! Unlike a simple chatbot, a Virtual Digital Assistant can be equipped with multiple skills covering a wide set of domains and scenarios all from one conversational interface. There’s no need...

In a recent post, I introduced the managed Oracle Cloud Service for Kubernetes, the Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE). A logical next step when working with Kubernetes in somewhat challenging situations, for example with microservice style architectures and deployments, is the use of Istio – to configure, monitor and manage the so called service mesh. Istio – https://istio.io – is brand new – not even Beta yet, although a first production release is foreseen for Q3 2018. It...

Oracle launched (May 2018) its Managed Kubernetes Cloud Service (OKE – Oracle Kubernetes Engine) – see for example this announcement. Yesterday I got my self a new free cloud trial on the Oracle Public Cloud (https://cloud.oracle.com/tryit). Subsequently, I created a Kubernetes cluster and deployed my first pod on that cluster. In this article, I will describe the steps that I went through: create Oracle Cloud Trial account configure OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) tenancy...
