More than Block - using NFS and fast Object Storage with Oracle Database 23c
In recent years we have seen an explosion in data, with the biggest growth being unstructured data due to an ever increasing amount of machine generated data being created. Data growth, longer retention periods and data protection requirements all challenge the way we store and manage our data.
Join this session where we will explore how Oracle Database 23c can utilise traditional block storage, NFS, Oracle dNFS, and fast Object Storage. We will discuss each storage option, and consider how they can be used, connectivity, requirements, and a benefits of the differing approaches.
Revolutionising Database Deployment with Database Operators
In this presentation Ron will introduce core concepts and discuss the need for database operators to simplify the management of databases on Kubernetes clusters.
Ron will explore how Kubernetes database Operators can be used to deliver database-as-a-service (DaaS), and share functionality database administrators look for from their database Operators to provide enterprise level support.
Through demonstrations, participants will gain a comprehensive insights into deploying and running database in the Cloud or within on-premises Kubernetes clusters.
Revolutionising Database Deployment with the Oracle Database Operator
In this presentation Ron will introduce Kubernetes, explore core concepts and discuss the need for database operators to simplify the management of databases on Kubernetes clusters.
Ron will walkthrough the installation of the Oracle database operator into a Kubernetes cluster and through live demonstrations, participants will gain a comprehensive insights into deploying Oracle 19c, 21c, and 23ai databases on Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE), or on-premises Kubernetes clusters.
Oracle Cloud Full Stack Automation with Terraform
In today's digital landscape, the ability to rapidly stand-up and rip-down full-stack applications is crucial for modern development.
This presentation will introduce Terraform, a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool and delve into how Terraform can be used for orchestrating and managing Full Stack Applications within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Attendees will gain insights into how we can Terraform to deploy compute, storage, network and applications using Terraform through demos and code samples.
By the end of this session, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to harness the power of Terraform and OCI to optimize their full-stack application lifecycle, enhancing both development agility and operational resilience.
Guardians of the Data - Protecting Oracle Backups from Ransomware and Malicious Intent
As database professionals we are the custodians of our organisations data and the event of any data related issue are usually one of the first Data Heroes on the scene.
As Guardians of the Data we need to constantly review and reduce our exposure to malware and other threats, by adopting a multi-level approach to data protection we can give ourselves the best possible protection.
In this presentation I will discuss the need for a multi-layered approach and share some of the steps we can take to protect our backups from ransomware attacks and malicious intent.
I will share code and examples of the steps need to avoid becoming headline news across the globe.
