  Disaster Recovery (DR) is not a luxury—it's a necessity. With the increasing reliance on cloud-native architectures, businesses must ensure high availability, durability, and the ability to recover swiftly from failures. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Autonomous Database (ADB) combined with Object Storage provides a powerful and automated foundation for building robust DR strategies. In this blog, we’ll explore how to implement an effective disaster recovery solution in OCI using: Autonomous Database OCI Object Storage Cross-region replication Restore demonstrations 🧱 1. Core Concepts ✅ Autonomous Database (ADB) Oracle’s Autonomous Database is a self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing database that comes in two main flavors: Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) : Ideal for OLTP apps. Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) : Ideal for analytical workloads. ✅ Object Storage OCI Object Storage is a durable, secure, and highly available storage...

  Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides powerful Monitoring and Alarms features to help you gain visibility into the health and performance of your cloud resources. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the step-by-step process of setting up monitoring and alerts for CPU, Memory, and other important metrics using OCI’s native tools. ✅ Whether you’re managing Compute Instances, Autonomous Databases, Load Balancers, or other services, OCI Monitoring helps you stay ahead of performance issues by automatically collecting and analyzing metrics. 🎯 What We Will Cover Understanding OCI Monitoring and Metrics Enabling Monitoring for Resources Setting Up Alarms (CPU, Memory, etc.) Viewing Metrics in the OCI Console Notifications Using OCI Notifications Service Bonus: Monitoring Using CLI & SDK (Optional for automation)   🧠 1. What is OCI Monitoring? OCI Monitoring allows you to collect, view, and analyze metrics for your cloud resources in near real-...

  As more enterprises adopt multi-cloud strategies, seamless integration between cloud providers like Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) , Amazon Web Services (AWS) , and Microsoft Azure becomes essential. This integration unlocks operational flexibility, optimized workloads, high availability, and cost efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore how OCI integrates with external cloud providers, specifically focusing on FastConnect , data transfer , and hybrid cloud setups . These use cases are critical for enterprise-grade deployments where interoperability and high-performance connectivity are paramount. 🌐 Why Multi-Cloud? Before diving into the technical details, let’s understand the why : Avoid vendor lock-in Leverage best-of-breed services from each cloud (e.g., Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI, AI/ML on AWS) Disaster recovery and compliance across multiple jurisdictions Geographical redundancy and performance optimization 🔗 FastConnect with AWS and Azure 🧭 W...

  🧭 Introduction Oracle APEX on Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) is a powerful low-code platform that enables rapid application development, directly on Oracle Cloud. But its real strength is unlocked when integrated with other OCI services such as Object Storage, Functions, Monitoring, and Email Delivery. In this blog, we’ll walk through real-world use cases and demonstrate how APEX applications can seamlessly connect, consume, and extend OCI services to build modern cloud-native solutions. 🧩 Why Integrate APEX with OCI Services? Feature Benefit 🧠 Native cloud access        Direct interaction with OCI APIs from APEX ⚙️ Serverless compute Extend APEX logic using Oracle Functions 📦 Object Storage Store & retrieve documents, images, reports 📈 Monitoring & Alerts App-level observability & automation ✉️ Email Delivery Send user notifications or alerts 🔧 Prerequisites ATP instance with APEX enabled Access to OCI tenancy with appro...
