Infrastructure at your Service
Hi everybody, During previous blog ,we ever talked about Jenkins , but what about Jenkins X ?What are the differences between the two, which one is fitting the best for your needs? History of Jenkins X As the cloud technology were growing along years Developers were asking for a tool that fit to this new standard, helping them to increase their development and to simplify it especially with containerization and usage of Kubernetes orchestrator ,that…
By Franck Pachot . I have posted, a long time ago, about Google Spanner (inserting data and no decimal numeric data types) but many things have changed in this area. There is now a NUMERIC data type and many things have improved in this distributed SQL database, improving a bit the SQL compatibility. gcloud I can use the Cloud Shell, which is very easy – one click fron the console – but here I’m showing…
In my previous Blog I had wrote about Swiss Cloud Provider: Exoscale. Read the Blog Today we will look little bit deeper in three subjects: Template & Template sharing Scaling up and down instances dbi CentOS 8 & Debian 10 Templates Templating On Exoscale you can create custom Template from you current Instance. Custom Templates can make your daily work easier. We will look also how we can share Templates. Starting with the GUI: 1….
By Franck Pachot . You may want your RDS database to interact with other AWS services. For example, send a notification on a business or administration situation, with a “push” method rather than a “pull” one from a Cloud watch alert. You may even design this call to be triggered on database changes. And Amazon Aurora provides this possibility by running a lambda from the database through calling mysql.lambda_async() from a MySQL trigger. This is…
By Franck Pachot . In a previous post I started this series of “Recovery in the ☁” with the Oracle Autonomous database. My goal is to explain the recovery procedures, especially the Point-In-Time recovery procedures because there is often confusion, which I tried to clarify in What is a database backup (back to the basics). And the terms used in managed cloud services or documentation is not very clear, not always the same, and sometimes…
I am pretty new on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure technology, so maybe I am talking about something you already know. But anyway I prefer to share this case: it can help if you encounter the same problem as me. Let’s take the risk to have too much information rather than nothing! 😉
On a previous blog post, we saw how to create an account on the Oracle OCI using the Oracle Cloud Free Tier offer and then how to instal MySQL Server on the Compute instance. Some weeks later, the new MySQL Database Service (MDS) was out and I can show you now how to install and configure it.
When working with an Ansible dynamic inventory, you may want to update it from your playbook on the fly. For instance, you may want to create a server and then install an application on it without calling a second playbook or developing specific code to create a runtime group (e.g. “add_host” module). Or you may want to update the inventory on the fly without having to wait for an asynchronous mechanism to be triggered. This…
By Franck Pachot . I’ll start this series with the Oracle Autonomous database but my goal is to cover the Point In Time recovery for many managed databases in the major cloud providers. Because I’ve seen lot of confusion about database backups (see What is a database backup (back to the basics)). On one side, in a managed database, we should not have to care about backups, but only about recovery. The way it is…
By Franck Pachot . I contribute to multiple technologies communities. I’m an Oracle ACE Director for many years, and I also became an AWS Data Hero recently 🎉. I got asked if there’s no conflict with that, as Amazon and Oracle are two competitors. Actually, there’s no conflict at all. Those advocacy programs are not about sales, but technology. Many database developers and administrators have to interact with more than one cloud provider, and those…
