Join the community today.   00;06;26;24 - 00;06;52;29 Welcome back. Bill, I want to ask you about Oracle Cloud Apps Business Process training. For anyone who doesn't already know, what are these business processes and what sort of training do we offer on this? As I mentioned earlier, MyLearn has business process training related to HCM, ERP Financials, Procurement, Supply Chain Management, and Sales. For example, for HCM, there are processes such as Recruit to Onboard, which is in the Applicant life cycle.   00;06;53;01 - 00;07;22;15 Think about it. You as an employee, you have maybe once been contacted by a company through recruiting activities. Companies require processes to reach out to and identify potential candidates and set up interviews. You receive a job offer, you accept it. And on day one, you begin your onboarding process into the new company as a new hire. In a modern business, this is driven by technology and managed by various job roles within an organization, including you as the applicant, to move through the process quickly and efficiently on your career journey with the new company.   00;07;22;17 - 00;07;43;20 Other business processes for HCM include Hire to Retire, Payroll to Payment. You know we all like to get compensated for the hard work we do, right? And Career Planning to Development. For Financials processes such as Invoice to Cash, Procure to Pay, and Budget to Report. Within Sales, we have processes that we cover Lead to Opportunity, Opportunity to Quote, Quota to Order, and Order to Close, only to mention a few.   00;07;43;25 - 00;08;09;26 The Business Process training focuses on how these processes are managed within Oracle Cloud Applications, how data and control flows between the processes, the various job roles responsible for the activities and tasks for these processes, and the inputs and outcomes for each of them. Our content is rich text based, has captivating imagery, concepts explained by experts, product demonstrations, and quizzes to reinforce what you have learned.   00;08;10;01 - 00;08;35;00 Who would benefit most from this training, Bill? This training and certifications are for anyone who wants to build strong foundational knowledge of Oracle Cloud Business Processes to use, implement, and test Oracle Cloud Applications. You can be a business process owner, a functional user, an implementation project team member, an implementer, or on the user acceptance testing teams within your company or even university students.   00;08;35;05 - 00;09;03;12 It's so great that we have this free training for OCI and Cloud Apps. So, Rohit, what certifications are available for OCI? There are the two always free certifications, Foundations Associate certifications, one for OCI and one for Database Management. So, these are always free. And then we have 19 other certifications. For these, you would use the two free exam attempts that are included in the promotion.   00;09;03;12 - 00;09;26;08 You can find a list of all the exams on education.oracle.com. And Bill, what certifications are included for the business process training? For the business process training, there are five associate-level exams included for HCM, Financials, Sales, Procurement, and Supply Chain Management. This free promotion sounds like a great opportunity to learn some new things and get certified.   00;09;26;11 - 00;09;44;00 Bill, how many free exams can I take as part of the promotion? Can I choose any certification exam to take for free? The promotion includes two exam credits. Once you register through the promo page, these will be added to your MyLearn account. You can take any of the 26 exams that are part of the promotion.   00;09;44;02 - 00;10;03;22 You do have to register on education.oracle.com to get these exam credits though. And of course, you can always take the two OCI foundations exam which are free anytime and you don't have to pay for these exams. Yes, you're right. Good point, Rohit. And what happens if I don't pass the exam? You can retake any exam.   00;10;03;25 - 00;10;22;26 You can use the two credits on any of the exams included in the promotion. You can take two different exams or use both on one exam if you need to take a retake. And if I need more attempts or want to take more exams? You can buy additional exam credits through MyLearn for any exam, including the ones not part of this promotion.   00;10;22;27 - 00;10;44;15 So, let's think positive here. I've taken the exam and passed. Will I receive a digital badge or certification? How can I share this accomplishment with others? Absolutely, Niki, you can. You will have access to a digital badge when you pass the exam. These are available to you on MyLearn and you can share on social media, etc. Where can I go if I have more questions about this?   00;10;44;17 - 00;11;03;13 The best place to go is education.oracle.com. You'll find all the answers, including an FAQ section there. I want to know more about the contest you spoke about earlier. What do I have to do to win prizes and what kind of prizes are there? The contest combines the challenge of learning new skills and the opportunity to win prizes.   00;11;03;16 - 00;11;25;00 There are three sectors like there are in a racetrack, and as you complete each sector, you'll win prizes. Right, and at the end of the first sector, you will earn a free exam attempt and a special badge in the Oracle University Learning Community. When you complete the second sector, you earn a second free exam attempt and another badge in the community.   00;11;25;00 - 00;11;47;03 And when you complete the third and the final sector, you get yet another free exam attempt, if you're counting, that's three in total, and another community badge. But you will also get some additional prizes for this top tier, such as you will get access to our premium OCI labs for three months. Hmm, that's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.   00;11;47;03 - 00;12;06;23 Free certifications and training, and you can win prizes on top of that! You're so right, Bill. Well, gentlemen, this has been very enlightening. There are lots of opportunities to learn new things and get certified as well. Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing about the free training and certifications that are available. Yeah, we're really excited to share this with our listeners.   00;12;06;24 - 00;12;27;05 Yeah. Thank you both for having us. Yes, it's been great to be back on the podcast with you both. Thank you.

In this episode, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined once again by Alex Bouchereau to discuss how you can use Oracle Database Cloud Service to deploy Oracle Databases in the cloud. They also talk through the fundamentals of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database system instances, including bare metal and virtual machine shapes and their storage architecture.   Oracle MyLearn: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Deepak Modi, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   --------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   http://traffic.libsyn.com/oracleuniversitypodcast/Oracle_University_Podcast_S02_EP04.mp3     00;00;00;00 - 00;00;38;21 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we’ll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor.   00;00;38;22 - 00;01;07;29 Hi, everyone. In our last episode, we discussed Oracle Exadata Cloud Service with our Oracle Database Specialist Alex Bouchereau. If you missed that episode, please remember to go back and give it a listen. We're so excited to have Alex with us again and today she's going to talk about the fundamentals of OCI database system instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We'll also ask her about the DB system for bare metal and virtual machine shapes.   00;01;08;02 - 00;01;40;22 Hi, Alex. Can you tell us about the Oracle Database Cloud Service? Oracle Database Cloud Service provides you the ability to deploy Oracle databases to the cloud. You can deploy Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition 2 and any database version from 11.2 and later. You have the option to deploy using virtual machine or bare metal shapes. Database Cloud Service VM and BM metal DB systems are deployed in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions around the world.   00;01;40;24 - 00;02;12;01 With Database Cloud Service, you manage the database instance, including provisioning, patching, backup, and disaster recovery using OCI cloud automation tools, such as the OCI console, CLI, and API. There is also an SDK that supports a number of different languages. Using VM shapes, you can deploy real application clusters and scale your storage requirements. Walk us through the various Oracle database editions. You know, from Standard Edition 2 to Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance.   00;02;12;03 - 00;02;37;15 What are the key differences in terms of features, add-ons, and licensing options? Beginning with Standard Edition 2, features included with the service are Multitenant Pluggable Database and Tablespace Encryption. Moving to Enterprise Edition, you add additional database features, such as data guard and the EM packs of data masking and subsetting, tuning, and diagnostics.   00;02;37;17 - 00;03;14;06 With Enterprise Edition High Performance, in addition to the base Enterprise Edition, you add Management and Lifecycle Management packs as well as Advanced Security and Database Vault and Label Security. And finally, Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance has all the previously discussed features, plus Active Data Guard, Oracle RAC, and Database In-Memory. Note that all packages include Oracle Database Transparent Data Encryption, TDE. You have an option to bring your own license, BYOL, which means you could use your organization's existing Oracle Database software licenses.   00;03;14;12 - 00;03;44;27 What's the difference between bare metal instances and virtual machines in the context of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? OCI is the only public cloud that supports BM and VMs during the same set of APIs, hardware, firmware, software stack, and networking infrastructure. Bare metal instances are single tenant and you have full control over the resources provisioned within the service. Virtual machines follow a multitenant model and share servers that are not overprovisioned.   00;03;45;00 - 00;04;11;00 So how is the customer billed for these services? For databases using bare metal and virtual machine infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure uses per second billing. This means that OCPU and storage usage is billed by the second with a minimum usage period of one minute for virtual machine DB systems and one hour for bare metal DB systems.   00;04;11;00 - 00;04;39;29 For bare metal servers, there is an infrastructure charge along with the billing for OCPUs. Alex, can DBCS be customized? I mean, are there different kinds of DBCS offerings to fulfill the various needs of our customers? The maximum number of OCPUs, RAM, and storage for your database depends on the shape you choose. There are two types of DB systems on virtual machines. Single node or one-node virtual machine DB system consists of one virtual machine.   00;04;40;02 - 00;05;13;27 Two-node virtual machine DB systems consist of two virtual machines of separate servers. Virtual machine DB systems use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage. Bare metal systems used NVMe local storage and are therefore not scalable. Storage scaling is available for all VM shapes. Online OCPU scaling is available for bare metal systems or for two-node RAC VMs. Alex, help us understand what Database Cloud Service on bare metal is.   00;05;13;29 - 00;05;43;07 How does it differ from other Oracle Database Service offerings? Database Cloud Service on bare metal is a database service offering that enables customers to deploy and manage full-featured Oracle databases on bare metal servers. Bare metal offers proven and predictable performance with local NVMe storage on dedicated servers that provide high IOPS with extremely low latency. Bare metal DB systems consist of a single bare metal server running Oracle Linux with locally attached NVMe storage.   00;05;43;07 - 00;06;11;25 If the node fails, you can simply launch another system and restore the databases from current backups. Bare metal DB system provide dedicated resources that are ideal for databases that are performance intensive. And how do you start a bare metal instance? When you launch a bare metal DB system, you select the single Oracle Database edition that applies to all the databases on that DB system.   00;06;11;28 - 00;06;49;08 The selected edition cannot be changed. Each DB system can have multiple database homes, which can be different versions. Each database home can have multiple databases, which are, of course, the same version as the database home. Are you attending Oracle CloudWorld 2023? Learn from experts, network with peers, and find out about the latest innovations when Oracle CloudWorld returns to Las Vegas from September 18 through 21. CloudWorld is the best place to learn about Oracle solutions from the people who build and use them.   00;06;49;12 - 00;07;17;22 In addition to your attendance at CloudWorld, your ticket gives you access to Oracle MyLearn and all of the cloud learning subscription content as well as three free certification exam credits. This is valid from the week you register through 60 days after the conference. So what are you waiting for? Register today. Learn more about Oracle CloudWorld at www.oracle.com/cloudworld.   00;07;17;24 - 00;07;46;08 Welcome back. Alex, can you explain how Automatic Storage Management interfaces with disks in OCI? ASM directly interfaces with the disks. When you provision a bare metal system, you will indicate the data storage percentage assigned to data storage, which is user data and database files. Your choice is 40% or 80%. The remaining percentage is assigned to RECO storage consisting of database redo logs, archive logs, and recovery manager backups.   00;07;46;08 - 00;08;20;14 Storage is continuously monitored for any faults. Any disk that fails will be taken offline. Whenever the shapes list a maximum amount of usable space and data in RECO, these reservations for rebalancing are already taken into account. The root user has complete control over the storage subsystem so customization and tuning are possible. But the service already optimally configures these by default according to best practices.   00;08;20;18 - 00;08;58;20 So what are the key benefits of running databases on virtual machines? Database Service on VMs is a Database Service offering that enables customers to build, scale, and manage full-featured Oracle databases on virtual machines. The key benefits of running databases on VMs are cost-effectiveness, ease of getting started, durable and scalable storage, and the ability to run real application clusters, RAC, to improve availability. Database Cloud Service on VMs is built on the same high performance, highly available cloud infrastructure used by all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.   00;08;58;22 - 00;09;23;21 RAC databases will run on a single availability domain (AD) while ensuring each node is on a separate physical RAC, ensuring high availability. When you launch a virtual machine DB system, you select the Oracle Database edition and version that applies to the database on that DB system. The selected edition cannot be changed. Depending on your selected Oracle database edition and version, your DB system can support multiple pluggable databases, PDBs.   00;09;23;28 - 00;09;59;17 Are there various kinds of compute shapes available with DBCS? Virtual machine database systems offer compute shapes with 1 to 24 cores to support customers with small to large database processing requirements. A virtual machine DB system database uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage instead of local storage. You specify a storage size when you launch the DB system, and you can scale up the storage as needed at any time.   00;09;59;17 - 00;10;27;26 On-demand up and down scaling of database OCPUs use without interrupting database operations on two-node Oracle Real Application Cluster deployments allows customers to meet application needs while minimizing costs. To change to the number of CPU cores on an existing virtual machine DB system, you will change the shape of that DB system. Can you tell us about the node virtual machine DB systems in OCI?   00;10;27;28 - 00;11;01;22 For one-node virtual machine DB systems, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a fast provisioning option that allows you to create a DB system using Logical Volume Manager, LVM, as your storage management software. Fast provisioning for an Oracle Database with Logical Volume Manager increases developer productivity. Can we also choose to use Automatic Storage with DBCS? You have a choice to select ASM storage management. You will select Oracle Grid Infrastructure when you provision your DB system to use Oracle Automatic Storage Management.   00;11;01;25 - 00;11;32;03 This is required for RAC deployments. Virtual machine DB system deployments with ASM support 11.2 database versions and above, whereas virtual machine DB system deployments with LVM support 12.2 database versions and above. When you provision your virtual machine DB system, you will identify the amount of available storage. This is the amount of block storage and gigabyte to allocate to the virtual machine DB system.   00;11;32;05 - 00;11;56;05 Available storage can be scaled up or down as needed after provisioning your DB system. You will also indicate total storage, the total block storage and gigabyte used by the virtual machine DB system. The amount of available storage you select determines this value. Oracle charges for the total storage used. What our customers really want to know is how their data is kept secure?   00;11;56;11 - 00;12;26;29 Lay it out for us. Alex. Identity Management, network controls, and encryption are all built into Database Cloud Service virtual machine and bare metal DB system to provide end-to-end security. Oracle Data Safe is an integrated security service available at no additional cost. With it, you could do a few things. Identify configuration drift through overall security assessments. This helps you identify gaps and then fix the issues. Flag risks users or behavior, and see if they're all well controlled.   00;12;27;02 - 00;12;54;14 Audit user activity. Track risky actions. Raise alerts and streamline compliance checks. Discover sensitive data. Know where it is and how much you have. Mask sensitive data. Three out of four DB instances are copies for dev test. This lets you remove that risk. To help meet security compliance standards, you can optionally enable FIPS, STIG, and SELinux options.   00;12;54;20 - 00;13;15;04 Thank you, Alex, for guiding us through all of this. To learn more about Oracle Database Cloud Service, please visit mylearn.oracle.com and take a look at our free Oracle Cloud Data Management Foundations Workshop. You'll also find quizzes that you can take to test your understanding of these concepts. That brings us to the end of this episode.   00;13;15;06 - 00;13;39;11 We're very excited about our episode next week in which we'll be talking with Rohit Rahi, Vice President of OCI Global Delivery, and Bill Lawson, Senior Director of Cloud Applications Product Management for Oracle University. We'll be talking about the free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Cloud Apps training and certifications that are available for a limited time. So you really won't want to miss that episode!   00;13;39;13 - 00;16;23;28 Until next time, this is Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham signing off.
