Master Oracle database on AWS by exploring EC2 and RDS from scratch, guided by Joy from DB Alchemist, with emphasis on Exadata patching and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure fundamentals.
Learn architecture-driven Oracle on AWS, building a custom VPC with public and private subnets. Connect PHP on Apache to Oracle and explore EC2, RDS, and backups.
Explore how Amazon web services emerged, define what aws is, and trace its history from a garage startup to launching s3 and ec2 in 2006.
build a simple vpc with cidr 10.0.0.0/16 across a single availability zone, with public and private subnets, a network acl, and routing through an internet gateway.
Create a web server security group in the VPC and configure inbound SSH (port 22) and HTTP (port 80) rules to secure EC2 web traffic and prepare the RDS setup.
Explore AWS EC2 instance types, including general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, accelerated computing, and storage optimized. Learn how to select the right instance type for your workload and ami.
Navigate the AWS console to launch an EC2 instance, choosing an AMI, instance type, storage, and tags, then follow the six-step process to configure VPC, security groups, review, and launch.
Install Oracle 18c xe on EC2 by downloading the preinstalled database, enabling red hat extras, and using yum; configure the Oracle home and pluggable databases in /u01/app/oracle/oradata.
Demonstrates configuring Oracle Secure Backup cloud module to back up an Oracle database to S3 using the SBT interface, including archive log mode and verifying backup pieces.
Learn to restore from S3 storage and recover a corrupted Oracle database using backup pieces, restore data files, apply media recovery, and open the database.
A 10 Second Survey
Explore Amazon RDS for Oracle, covering two licensing models: bring your own license and license included, with automated backups, CloudWatch monitoring, and multi-AZ deployments.
Explain the architecture diagram for deploying an Oracle RDS in a private subnet within a VPC, and outline steps to create an Amazon RDS for Oracle using 12c.
Shows how to create a db subnet group for Oracle in a vpc demo by using private subnets across availability zones for an rds Oracle deployment.
Illustrates configuring CloudWatch monitoring and enhanced monitoring for an Oracle database on AWS, including metrics like CPU utilization, DB connections, free memory, write and read ops, logs, and creating alarms.
Explore AWS backups and recovery for Oracle databases using storage snapshots, manual snapshot creation, and incremental snapshots, with guidance on io suspension and multi-az deployments.
Explore web server to database connectivity on AWS by wiring Apache on EC2 with PHP to Oracle 12c in a private subnet, and display data on a PHP page.
Explore how Oracle commands map to RDS operations in AWS, using the admin_util package to perform tasks such as kill sessions, flush shared pool, switch log files, and manage privileges.
I will be looking to delve deeper into the AWS Infrastructure and demystify the entire dilemma around Oracle Database on AWS.
We will take a main architecture diagram as base , where we shall create a custom VPC, which will have a Public Subnet & a Private Subnet. The Public Subnet will have access to the internet and we will have a test Oracle 18c XE Database and an Apache Webserver in this.
The Oracle 12c RDS Database will be created in Private Subnet and will have access only from Webserver. To achieve this our approach would be as follows:
We will start with the very basics like : What is Cloud Computing , What are the meanings of the important acronyms like IaaS/ PaaS/ SaaS, Top Cloud Vendors by Market Share.
A good understanding will be given about AWS Cloud , Sign-Up Process and Understanding the AWS Management Console.
We will be approaching our study from Architecture standpoint by doing a deep dive into the Architecture of AWS and discussing : Regions / AZ / VPC / Security Groups / EBS Voume / S3 Storage,
A number of demos will be done on the creation of Custom VPC , Secury Groups , EBS Disk , S3 Storage. A demo will be done showing the configuration of AWSCLI on Mac OS / Windows.
EC2: We will discuss the details on EC2 / What are AMI: Amazon Machine Images.
We will do a demo to create an EC2 Instance in Custom VPC , Install 18c XE on EC2 Instance, Backups/Recovery using RMAN Backups to S3 Storage.
RDS: What is RDS / RDS for Oracle , Backup/ Recovery , Monitoring , Oracle Vs RDS commands
A demo will be done on Deploying Oracle 12c Database in RDS , Patching the existing version of Oracle.
A Demo will show the creation of EC2 instance which will act as Apache Webserver , then we shall install Apache, PHP and show the entire process around PHP with OCI8 Connectivity.
We will also discuss what is REST API and using a tool Postman call an RDS REST API.
