Before I cover today's show schedule, let me admit that procrastination is sometimes very dangerous, as I could not record/host the podcast for the last 4 months. It wasn't easy to have a work-life balance due to the two factors. First, as I am doing MSc in AI and the previous 4-5 months were crucial to complete the key subjects, now I am on the last topic of robotics, which will be completed very soon. And 2nd factor was that I was dedicating a lot of my time to office work, where I worked with several EMEA-based customers and helped them migrate on-premise workloads to the Oracle cloud.
On the procrastination, James clear’s book ‘Atomic habit’ and specifically the article “Procrastination: A Scientific Guide on How to Stop Procrastinating” has helped me to come out of the phase and be back with the podcast 😊
Let's dive into today’s topic. Oracle has solutions that broadly cover three areas from the product's point of view. We will also talk about some of the use cases along with these products.
Workload migration to Cloud has become integral to IT optimization and driving business forward with the increased espousal of cloud technologies. Moving to the cloud enables firms to be more agile, remove inefficiencies and provide required customer, employee experiences. Migration of on-premise enterprise workload to the public cloud has reached the situation of being considered a ‘best practice’. These workload migrations still giving challenges to the traditionally run IT organizations as everything on-premises.
It’s no longer moving to the cloud is just selecting your favorite cloud provider, and then magic will be reviled. You and your organization have to face the challenge of making the right choices:
Some critical factors have to be kept aligned or on top of the list when deciding on the architecture. I will mention what points I keep in mind while suggesting an architecture of enterprise workload migration.

How to deploy a server/instance on the newly released Arm Ampere AI compute shape in Oracle OCI. In this session, we will summarize what we have learned from the last seven sessions on the basics of OCI and you will see how those basics concepts are helping us create a new virtual machine.
Two days back, Oracle has announced the release of Arm Based computing on the OCI; with this, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers Ampere Altra processors with an 80-core Arm server. The Arm is at the ‘heart’ of mobile gaming, and the Arm architecture belongs to ‘reduced instruction set computing (RISC)’ architectures for computer processors. Some of the critical features of this architecture are to provide predictable performance, high scalability, and power efficiency. ARM makes 32-bit and 64-bit RISC multi-core processors. RISC processors are designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that they can operate at a higher speed, performing more millions of instructions per second (MIPS). By stripping out unneeded instructions and optimizing pathways, RISC processors provide outstanding performance at a fraction of the power demand of CISC (complex instruction set computing) devices.
I have seen another article written on how to deploy Minecraft on the Cloud. So these two things coincided, and I thought, let me try and create my own Minecraft server on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to run an Arm-based workload. All the steps are recorded in the video below, and it took me just twenty minutes to complete the entire process. I am looking forward to deploying enterprise workload to Arm-based instances.

In this session part 7, we will cover three topics:
The Journey started from the first station of networking to learn the basics of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
In the second station of our journey to learn Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We will cover different gateways available in the VCN like:
When you will arrive at the third station of our journey, to learn OCI, you will get the basics of default components of VCN, including the below three-component comes by default with the Virtual Cloud Network on OCI.
In the fourth station of our journey, we will cover the three different scenarios, public subnet, Private Subnet with a VPN, and Public and Private Subnets with a VPN.
In the fifth and sixth station of the journey to learn the basics of OC we have covered below areas:
In this session, how to secure your cloud network as part of the Networking service covers two virtual firewall features to control traffic at the packet level a-Network security groups b-Security lists and to configure VCN flow logs to get details about the traffic that passes through your VCN.
It is part 6 of our series to learn the basics of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In part 5 & 6, we have covered key 5 areas:
Oracle OCI - How to Secure Your Network - Part 5 (otechtalks.tv)
How to secure your cloud network and compute instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure; you will be using private subnets, Security rules, Firewall rules, Gateways and route tables, IAM policies, and Security zones. we will also compare the Security Lists and Network Security Groups. what are the top 5 best practices to be followed for the Security Rules that are also covered in this session?
