Description
This course is going to walk you through some of the day-to-day operational activities that you might find yourself managing in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ecosystem.
Kick things off with a dive into the automation components, OCI CLI, Terraform, Resource Manager, and Ansible. Next, we deal with a few operational tasks associated with custom images, OS management, traffic management, security best practices, and troubleshooting.
At the end of the day, it is critical for the environment to expand with the needs of the application or the customer requirements and at the same time manage costs. Learn to plan your scaling operations, and setup alerting, proper cost management of our environment, and troubleshoot any issues encountered.
Enjoy hands-on learning with self-paced labs, and keep your cloud skills current.
