Episode Transcript:

00:00

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!

00:26

Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal
Technical Editor.

Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we went over the basics of deep learning. Today, we'll look at generative AI and large language models, and discuss how they work. To help us with that, we have Himanshu Raj, Senior Instructor on AI/ML. So, let's jump right in. Hi Himanshu, what is generative AI?

01:00

Himanshu: Generative AI refers to a type of AI that can create new content. It is a subset of deep learning, where the models are trained not to make predictions but rather to generate output on their own.

Think of generative AI as an artist who looks at a lot of paintings and learns the patterns and styles present in them. Once it has learned these patterns, it can generate new paintings that resembles what it learned.

01:27

Lois: Let's take an example to understand this better. Suppose we want to train a generative AI model to draw a dog. How would we achieve this?

Himanshu: You would start by giving it a lot of pictures of dogs to learn from. The AI does not know anything about what a dog looks like. But by looking at these pictures, it starts to figure out common patterns and features, like dogs often have pointy ears, narrow faces, whiskers, etc. You can then ask it to draw a new picture of a dog.

The AI will use the patterns it learned to generate a picture that hopefully looks like a dog. But remember, the AI is not copying any of the pictures it has seen before but creating a new image based on the patterns it has learned. This is the basic idea behind generative AI. In practice, the process involves a lot of complex maths and computation, and there are different techniques and architectures that can be used, such as variational autoencoders (VAs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).

02:27

Nikita: Himanshu, where is generative AI used in the real world?

Himanshu: Generative AI models have a wide variety of applications across numerous domains. For the image generation, generative models like GANs are used to generate realistic images. They can be used for tasks, like creating artwork, synthesizing images of human faces, or transforming sketches into photorealistic images.

For text generation, large language models like GPT 3, which are generative in nature, can create human-like text. This has applications in content creation, like writing articles, generating ideas, and again, conversational AI, like chat bots, customer service agents. They are also used in programming for code generation and debugging, and much more.

For music generation, generative AI models can also be used. They create new pieces of music after being trained on a specific style or collection of tunes. A famous example is OpenAI's MuseNet.

03:21

Lois: You mentioned large language models in the context of text-based generative AI. So, let's talk a little more about it. Himanshu, what exactly are large language models?

Himanshu: LLMs are a type of artificial intelligence models built to understand, generate, and process human language at a massive scale. They were primarily designed for sequence to sequence tasks such as machine translation, where an input sequence is transformed into an output sequence.

LLMs can be used to translate text from one language to another. For example, an LLM could be used to translate English text into French. To do this job, LLM is trained on a massive data set of text and code which allows it to learn the patterns and relationships that exist between different languages. The LLM translates, "How are you?" from English to French, "Comment allez-vous?"

It can also answer questions like, what is the capital of France? And it would answer the capital of France is Paris. And it will write an essay on a given topic. For example, write an essay on French Revolution, and it will come up with a response like with a title and introduction.

04:33

Lois: And how do LLMs actually work?

Himanshu: So, LLM models are typically based on deep learning architectures such as transformers. They are also trained on vast amount of text data to learn language patterns and relationships, again, with a massive number of parameters usually in order of millions or even billions. LLMs have also the ability to comprehend and understand natural language text at a semantic level. They can grasp context, infer meaning, and identify relationships between words and phrases.

05:05

Nikita: What are the most important factors for a large language model?

Himanshu: Model size and parameters are crucial aspects of large language models and other deep learning models. They significantly impact the model's capabilities, performance, and resource requirement. So, what is model size? The model size refers to the amount of memory required to store the model's parameter and other data structures. Larger model sizes generally led to better performance as they can capture more complex patterns and representation from the data.

The parameters are the numerical values of the model that change as it learns to minimize the model's error on the given task. In the context of LLMs, parameters refer to the weights and biases of the model's transformer layers. Parameters are usually measured in terms of millions or billions. For example, GPT-3, one of the largest LLMs to date, has 175 billion parameters making it extremely powerful in language understanding and generation.

Tokens represent the individual units into which a piece of text is divided during the processing by the model. In natural language, tokens are usually words, subwords, or characters. Some models have a maximum token limit that they can process and longer text can may require truncation or splitting. Again, balancing model size, parameters, and token handling is crucial when working with LLMs.

06:29

Nikita: But what's so great about LLMs?

Himanshu: Large language models can understand and interpret human language more accurately and contextually. They can comprehend complex sentence structures, nuances, and word meanings, enabling them to provide more accurate and relevant responses to user queries. This model can generate human-like text that is coherent and contextually appropriate. This capability is valuable for context creation, automated writing, and generating personalized response in applications like chatbots and virtual assistants. They can perform a variety of tasks.

Large language models are very versatile and adaptable to various industries. They can be customized to excel in applications such as language translation, sentiment analysis, code generation, and much more. LLMs can handle multiple languages making them valuable for cross-lingual tasks like translation, sentiment analysis, and understanding diverse global content.

Large language models can be again, fine-tuned for a specific task using a minimal amount of domain data. The efficiency of LLMs usually grows with more data and parameters.

07:34

Lois: You mentioned the "sequence to sequence tasks" earlier. Can you explain the concept in simple terms for us?

Himanshu: Understanding language is difficult for computers and AI systems. The reason being that words often have meanings based on context. Consider a sentence such as Jane threw the frisbee, and her dog fetched it.

In this sentence, there are a few things that relate to each other. Jane is doing the throwing. The dog is doing the fetching. And it refers to the frisbee. Suppose we are looking at the word "it" in the sentence. As a human, we understand easily that "it" refers to the frisbee. But for a machine, it can be tricky.

The goal in sequence problems is to find patterns, dependencies, or relationships within the data and make predictions, classification, or generate new sequences based on that understanding.

08:27

Lois: And where are sequence models mostly used?

Himanshu: Some common example of sequence models includes natural language processing, which we call NLP, tasks such as machine translation, text generation sentiment analysis, language modeling involve dealing with sequences of words or characters.

Speech recognition. Converting audio signals into text, involves working with sequences of phonemes or subword units to recognize spoken words. Music generation. Generating new music involves modeling musical sequences, nodes, and rhythms to create original compositions.

Gesture recognition. Sequences of motion or hand gestures are used to interpret human movements for applications, such as sign language recognition or gesture-based interfaces. Time series analysis. In fields such as finance, economics, weather forecasting, and signal processing, time series data is used to predict future values, detect anomalies, and understand patterns in temporal data.

10:03

Nikita: Welcome back! Himanshu, what would be the best way to solve those sequence problems you mentioned? Let's use the same sentence, "Jane threw the frisbee, and her dog fetched it" as an example.

Himanshu: The solution is transformers. It's like model has a bird's eye view of the entire sentence and can see how all the words relate to each other. This allows it to understand the sentence as a whole instead of just a series of individual words. Transformers with their self-attention mechanism can look at all the words in the sentence at the same time and understand how they relate to each other.

For example, transformer can simultaneously understand the connections between Jane and dog even though they are far apart in the sentence.

10:52

Nikita: But how?

Himanshu: The answer is attention, which adds context to the text. Attention would notice dog comes after frisbee, fetched comes after dog, and it comes after fetched.

Transformer does not look at it in isolation. Instead, it also pays attention to all the other words in the sentence at the same time. But considering all these connections, the model can figure out that "it" likely refers to the frisbee.

The most famous current models that are emerging in natural language processing tasks consist of dozens of transformers or some of their variants, for example, GPT or Bert.

11:32

Lois: I was looking at the AI Foundations course on MyLearn and came across the terms "prompt engineering" and "fine tuning." Can you shed some light on them?

Himanshu: A prompt is the input or initial text provided to the model to elicit a specific response or behavior. So, this is something which you write or ask to a language model. Now, what is prompt engineering? So prompt engineering is the process of designing and formulating specific instructions or queries to interact with a large language model effectively.
In the context of large language models, such as GPT 3 or Burt, prompts are the input text or questions given to the model to generate responses or perform specific tasks.

The goal of prompt engineering is to ensure that the language model understands the user's intent correctly and provide accurate and relevant responses.

12:26

Nikita: That sounds easy enough, but fine tuning seems a bit more complex. Can you explain it with an example?

Himanshu: Imagine you have a versatile recipe robot named chef bot. Suppose that chef bot is designed to create delicious recipes for any dish you desire.

Chef bot recognizes the prompt as a request for a pizza recipe, and it knows exactly what to do.

However, if you want chef bot to be an expert in a particular type of cuisine, such as Italian dishes, you fine-tune chef bot for Italian cuisine by immersing it in a culinary crash course filled with Italian cookbooks, traditional Italian recipes, and even Italian cooking shows.

During this process, chef bot becomes more specialized in creating authentic Italian recipes, and this option is called fine tuning. LLMs are general purpose models that are pre-trained on large data sets but are often fine-tuned to address specific use cases.

When you combine prompt engineering and fine tuning, and you get a culinary wizard in chef bot, a recipe robot that is not only great at understanding specific dish requests but also capable of following a specific dish requests and even mastering the art of cooking in a particular culinary style.

13:47

Lois: Great! Now that we've spoken about all the major components, can you walk us through the life cycle of a large language model?

Himanshu: The life cycle of a Large Language Model, LLM, involves several stages, from its initial pre-training to its deployment and ongoing refinement.

The first of this lifecycle is pre-training. The LLM is initially pre-trained on a large corpus of text data from the internet. During pre-training, the model learns grammar, facts, reasoning abilities, and general language understanding. The model predicts the next word in a sentence given the previous words, which helps it capture relationships between words and the structure of language.

The second phase is fine tuning initialization. After pre-training, the model's weights are initialized, and it's ready for task-specific fine tuning. Fine tuning can involve supervised learning on labeled data for specific tasks, such as sentiment analysis, translation, or text generation.

The model is fine-tuned on specific tasks using a smaller domain-specific data set. The weights from pre-training are updated based on the new data, making the model task aware and specialized. The next phase of the LLM life cycle is prompt engineering. So this phase craft effective prompts to guide the model's behavior in generating specific responses.

Different prompt formulations, instructions, or context can be used to shape the output.

15:13

Nikita: Ok… we're with you so far. What's next?

Himanshu: The next phase is evaluation and iteration. So models are evaluated using various metrics to access their performance on specific tasks. Iterative refinement involves adjusting model parameters, prompts, and fine tuning strategies to improve results.

So as a part of this step, you also do few shot and one shot inference. If needed, you further fine tune the model with a small number of examples. Basically, few shot or a single example, one shot for new tasks or scenarios.

Also, you do the bias mitigation and consider the ethical concerns. These biases and ethical concerns may arise in models output. You need to implement measures to ensure fairness in inclusivity and responsible use.

16:07

Himanshu: The next phase in LLM life cycle is deployment. Once the model has been fine-tuned and evaluated, it is deployed for real world applications. Deployed models can perform tasks, such as text generation, translation, summarization, and much more. You also perform monitoring and maintenance in this phase.

So you continuously monitor the model's performance and output to ensure it aligns with desired outcomes. You also periodically update and retrain the model to incorporate new data and to adapt to evolving language patterns. This overall life cycle can also consist of a feedback loop, whether you gather feedbacks from users and incorporate it into the model's improvement process.

You use this feedback to further refine prompts, fine tuning, and overall model behavior. RLHF, which is Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback, is a very good example of this feedback loop. You also research and innovate as a part of this life cycle, where you continue to research and develop new techniques to enhance the model capability and address different challenges associated with it.

17:19

Nikita: As we're talking about the LLM life cycle, I see that fine tuning is not only about making an LLM task specific. So, what are some other reasons you would fine tune an LLM model?
Himanshu: The first one is task-specific adaptation. Pre-trained language models are trained on extensive and diverse data sets and have good general language understanding. They excel in language generation and comprehension tasks, though the broad understanding of language may not lead to optimal performance in specific task.

These models are not task specific. So the solution is fine tuning. The fine tuning process customizes the pre-trained models for a specific task by further training on task-specific data to adapt the model's knowledge.

The second reason is domain-specific vocabulary. Pre-trained models might lack knowledge of specific words and phrases essential for certain tasks in fields, such as legal, medical, finance, and technical domains. This can limit their performance when applied to domain-specific data.

Fine tuning enables the model to adapt and learn domain-specific words and phrases. These words could be, again, from different domains.

18:35

Himanshu: The third reason to fine tune is efficiency and resource utilization. So fine tuning is computationally efficient compared to training from scratch.

Fine tuning reuses the knowledge from pre-trained models, saving time and resources. Fine tuning requires fewer iterations to achieve task-specific competence. Shorter training cycles expedite the model development process. It conserves computational resources, such as GPU memory and processing power.

Fine tuning is efficient in quicker model deployment. It has faster time to production for real world applications. Fine tuning is, again, a scalable enabling adaptation to various tasks with the same base model, which further reduce resource demands, and it leads to cost saving for research and development.
The fourth reason to fine tune is of ethical concerns. Pre-trained models learns from diverse data. And those potentially inherit different biases. Fine tune might not completely eliminate biases. But careful curation of task specific data ensures avoiding biased or harmful vocabulary. The responsible uses of domain-specific terms promotes ethical AI applications.

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, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. ------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;38;28 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 Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs. 00;00;39;01 - 00;01;04;26 Hi there! Many of today's modern applications face a lot of different challenges. These could be anything from managing data models that are continuously evolving to providing UIs that are highly responsive. Yeah, and that's because in today's environment, no one wants to go to an interface where they have to wait for minutes or even seconds, really. Exactly. So innovations have to happen rapidly and they have to keep up with the demands of the customer base. 00;01;05;01 - 00;01;27;25 Since we discussed the MySQL database in our last episode, we thought it would only make sense to talk about NoSQL next. And we're very happy to have Oracle Database Specialist Autumn Black joining us again. Hi Autumn. What can you tell us about Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? The Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service really offers a lot of great properties. 00;01;27;28 - 00;01;53;28 It's serverless, always on, and fully managed by Oracle. Developers can focus on application development without having to worry about managing servers, storage expansion, cluster deployment, software installation, or even backups. It's fully elastic. You just provision the throughput and storage capacity your application requires. Resources are automatically allocated and they scale accordingly to meet the dynamic workload requirements that you have. 00;01;54;01 - 00;02;18;16 The service provides predictable low latency for all types of application workload, whether it's at the peak workload or at a very low level of the workload. The latency is always at sub 10 milliseconds. Flexible data model supports document, columnar, and key value formats to capture any of the kinds of data you may have. These data models can interoperate with each other using a single application interface. 00;02;18;18 - 00;02;49;04 It offers developer-friendly APIs, and it's integrated with popular application development tools. It comes with enterprise-grade security. It's cost-effective. Lastly, and most importantly, it makes hybrid cloud or multi-cloud deployment with Oracle NoSQL Database extremely easy. This enables enterprises to expand their business operations, open up new business potential and opportunities. Autumn, you said Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is fully managed by Oracle. 00;02;49;06 - 00;03;09;17 What does that exactly mean? What are the things that Oracle really handles? Oracle's responsible for the back-end software and hardware. The developer gets to focus on the application and who can use that application. Today's modern developers are not interested in what's going on behind the scenes. They want to be sure that they can get what they want when they want it. 00;03;09;20 - 00;03;36;03 Could you tell us about some use cases where we'd see Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service being used? We see it in mobile applications. We see it in the Internet of Things. We see it in a 360-degree customer view that's extremely prevalent in banking applications. We see it in the user profile management catalog data, such as what you would see maybe on Amazon, content management, online advertising, and big-time real data, social media. 00;03;36;05 - 00;03;59;20 And we also see it being used in the area of gaming. We've heard that Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is extremely developer-friendly. How exactly is it developer-friendly? You can deploy your application to the data store in a matter of minutes. We have SDKs available in all the popular languages. We have Java, Python, Node.js, Go. We also have Spring. 00;03;59;22 - 00;04;24;24 We have open standards for our APIs, and we use the SQL language. Many, many folks already know and understand the SQL language and they can easily adapt to our APIs. We basically allow for simple and complex data types. We have our developer tools in Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Visual Studios. And for those who want to play with the service a little bit, you have full access to the service through the UI console. 00;04;24;27 - 00;04;48;05 Does Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service support different data models? You get to select that depending upon what you need. There's fixed schema, right? Sometimes referred to as a columnar store, sometimes referred to as just straight schema. And a JSON document? Sometimes it's referred to as just documents, and sometimes it's referred to as a JSON document. Other times, it gets referred to as schema lists. 00;04;48;08 - 00;05;07;17 We can store both of these within the same table, and we also have the ability to store a key value, which in some sense is really nothing more than a very simplified JSON document where you sort of have a primary key known as your key. Then you have your value and then oftentimes this value is really nothing more than a JSON document. 00;05;07;20 - 00;05;32;10 We have complete interoperability between either of these different types of data models. And what's the pricing like? Our pricing model is fairly straightforward. You basically pay for what you provision and different workflows can provision different amounts. The provision occurs on a per-table level that we have. We call it a read unit or write unit and storage. And each of those different parameters can be adjusted differently for each of the tables that you have. 00;05;32;12 - 00;05;44;08 So, it's a very, very simple model, very straightforward. And the cost for each one of those is extremely inexpensive. 00;05;44;10 - 00;06;14;09 Have you been wanting to earn an Oracle certification? Well, there's never been a better time than the present. Now through August 31st, you can choose from over 20 different Oracle certifications and take up to four exams for free, including foundation, associate, and professional-level Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certifications. You can also learn and get certified on Oracle Cloud Applications Business Processes for Human Capital Management, Financials, Customer Experience, Supply Chain, and Procurement. 00;06;14;13 - 00;06;40;25 And did I mention this was all free? Oracle Cloud training and certifications empower you to explore limitless possibilities in the cloud landscape. Gain the knowledge and skills needed to design, deploy, secure, and operate modern cloud infrastructure and applications with confidence. You can go to education.oracle.com for more details. What are you waiting for? Get certified today. 00;06;40;27 - 00;07;03;24 Welcome back. Now that we've covered all of that, let's get down to business. What is Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? How does it help one's business? Well, really, it's a client server architecture. On the client side, an application interacts with NoSQL drivers, or sometimes more commonly referred to as our SDK. So, you develop the application. 00;07;03;25 - 00;07;31;08 And then at compile time, you include the SDK in that. Drivers are available for Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Spring, and C-Sharp. So then the application runs and it does database operations like insert, update, query, delete against the NoSQL tables that are stored on the server side. So from the developer's point of view, that's all they need to know. It's extremely simple. NoSQL tables can be created in seconds. 00;07;31;10 - 00;08;01;08 Developers can start right away to develop and deploy their applications. Businesses can focus on rapid innovations to better serve their customer's needs and expectations. So what you're saying is developers and IT don't need to manage any computing, infrastructure, or software updates. The NoSQL service comes with the high availability built in. So, all of the underlying compute services and software maintenance, all of that is fully managed by Oracle, which is hosting the NoSQL tables. 00;08;01;11 - 00;08;24;10 Database administrators will work on the authentication, the roles, the privileges, and the other types of access that are used to access the tables. Autumn, earlier on, we spoke about how easy it is to use Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service to develop your application. Can you talk about how NoSQL drivers connect to tables and perform database operations? So, each table has a couple of different key components. 00;08;24;12 - 00;08;49;16 The first one is the data component. So, it consists of a table definition or flexible data model, supports columnar key value or document models. We support many different data types, including integer, string, binary, long double, array, JSON, record, and a few others. Each column can be defined by a particular data type. So that could be integers, strings, and JSON columns, right? 00;08;49;16 - 00;09;06;21 Then we have a primary key which is identified. The primary key sort of doubles as the shard key and the shard key can be either a sort of complete copy of the primary key, or you can have a multicolumn key where some of those columns is your primary key and then other columns in that are your shard key. 00;09;06;24 - 00;09;30;25 The other component of a table is the capacity that is provisioned. What's an example of this? We have three units. We have write units, read units, and we have storage. Storage is expressed in gigabytes and this is the maximum amount of storage that is allocated for this particular table. Reads and writes are expressed in units. Each of those units represents a one kilobyte read or write for every second. 00;09;30;27 - 00;09;52;17 So, if you have an application where you wanted to do multiple reads a second, then you would allocate multiple read units for that particular table. And these can be dynamically adjusted. What are the different ways in which you can experience Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? The first is accessing the cloud service to the service UI, probably more commonly referred to as the UI console. 00;09;52;19 - 00;10;20;12 The UI console provides basic capability. You can create and delete tables and then you can execute very simple, straightforward SQL statements against your table. If you want a richer experience, where you have an application that's developed. And then through all of our SDKs, you'll have the full experience and you'll be able to do the complete set of SQL statements that we offer. And then finally, we have what we call the NoSQL Cloud Simulator, essentially a single process version of our cloud. 00;10;20;15 - 00;10;40;06 It's very easy to use. Many of our customers use that for test and development, and the beauty with using that for testing development is there's no cost to you. There's no cost from the cloud service. You can develop your application, you can test it, and once you're ready to deploy it in the cloud, you might be able to do part of it through the UI or you could do it through your application. 00;10;40;06 - 00;11;07;14 Autumn, what makes Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service different? Well, there's a seamless multimodel. You have key value, fixed schema, you have schema-less, all at the same data store. The seamless SQL interoperates amongst any of these different kinds of data models. You have tunable ACID, you have shard local full ACID, you have parent tables for easy multiobject ACID. You can carefully balance the trade-offs of ACID and scale. 00;11;07;16 - 00;11;29;16 There is a fully managed cloud service. The throughput is provisioned, there is no lock-in. You have the ability to run as a fully managed service or you can take the NoSQL Database, run it anywhere. And if you want to run it in a hybrid environment, you can do that as well. Are there some additional resources that Oracle has, you know, where people can go to get more information? 00;11;29;18 - 00;11;56;04 I know we have the Developers Blog and blogs.oracle.com, but is there anything else? We have the Cloud Customer Connect, the developer community that we have for NoSQL. This gets monitored. We really have developers around the globe on the team so really this does get 24/7 coverage and we try to be very responsive to any types of questions that get posted on the forum and then we supply answers for all those questions. 00;11;56;06 - 00;12;18;19 Thank you so much, Autumn, for joining us through these last two episodes. We've learned so much from you. Learn more about the service by visiting mylearn.oracle.com and taking a look at our Oracle Cloud Data Management Foundations Workshop. You can also take skill checks to test your understanding of this topic. That brings us to the end of this episode. 00;12;18;19 - 00;12;41;26 In our next episode, we'll be joined by a very special guest who will talk about MySQL Document Store, a NoSQL solution that's built on top of MySQL. More on that next week. Until then, this is Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham signing off. That's all for this episode of the Oracle University Podcast.

MySQL Database Service and HeatWave

MySQL Database Service and HeatWave

In this episode, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Autumn Black to discuss MySQL Database, a fully-managed database service powered by the integrated HeatWave in-memory query accelerator.   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: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;39;08 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. You're listening to our second season Oracle Database Made Easy. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs with Oracle University.   00;00;39;10 - 00;01;08;03 And with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor. Hi, everyone. In our last episode, we had a really fascinating conversation about Oracle Machine Learning with Cloud Engineer Nick Commisso. Do remember to catch that episode if you missed it. Today, we have with us Autumn Black, who's an Oracle Database Specialist. Autumn is going to take us through MySQL, the free version and the Enterprise Edition, and MySQL Data Service.   00;01;08;05 - 00;01;39;16 We're also going to ask her about HeatWave. So let's get started. Hi, Autumn. So tell me, why is MySQL such a popular choice for developers? MySQL is the number one open-source database and the second most popular database overall after the Oracle Database. According to a Stack Overflow survey, MySQL has been for a long time and remains the number one choice for developers, primarily because of its ease of use, reliability, and performance.   00;01;39;17 - 00;02;08;22 And it's also big with companies? MySQL is used by the world's most innovative companies. This includes Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, and Uber. It is also used by students and small companies. There are different versions of MySQL, right? What are the main differences between them when it comes to security, data recovery, and support? MySQL comes in two flavors: free version or paid version.   00;02;08;24 - 00;02;45;05 MySQL Community, the free version, contains the basic components for handling data storage. Just download it, install it, and you're ready to go. But remember, free has costs. That stored data is not exactly secure and data recovery is not easy and sometimes impossible. And there is no such thing as free MySQL Community support. This is why MySQL Enterprise Edition was created, to provide all of those missing important pieces: high availability, security, and Oracle support from the people who build MySQL.   00;02;45;10 - 00;03;09;24 You said MySQL is open source and can be easily downloaded and run. Does it run on-premises or in the cloud? MySQL runs on a local computer, company's data center, or in the cloud. Autumn, can we talk more about MySQL in the cloud? Today, MySQL can be found in Amazon RDS and Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and Microsoft Azure Database for MySQL.   00;03;09;27 - 00;03;35;23 They all offer a cloud-managed version of MySQL Community Edition with all of its limitations. These MySQL cloud services are expensive and it's not easy to move data away from their cloud. And most important of all, they do not include the MySQL Enterprise Edition advanced features and tools. And they are not supported by the Oracle MySQL experts.   00;03;35;25 - 00;04;07;03 So why is MySQL Database Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure better than other MySQL cloud offerings? How does it help data admins and developers? MySQL Database Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is the only MySQL database service built on MySQL Enterprise Edition and 100% built, managed, and supported by the MySQL team. Let's focus on the three major categories that make MySQL Database Service better than the other MySQL cloud offerings: ease of use, security, and enterprise readiness.   00;04;07;03 - 00;04;44;24 MySQL DBAs tend to be overloaded with mundane database administration tasks. They're responsible for many databases, their performance, security, availability, and more. It is difficult for them to focus on innovation and on addressing the demands of lines of business. MySQL is fully managed on OCI. MySQL Database Service automates all those time-consuming tasks so they can improve productivity and focus on higher value tasks.   00;04;44;26 - 00;05;07;13 Developers can quickly get all the latest features directly from the MySQL team to deliver new modern apps. They don't get that on other clouds that rely on outdated or forked versions of MySQL. Developers can use the MySQL Document Store to mix and match SQL and NoSQL content in the same database as well as the same application.   00;05;07;19 - 00;05;30;26 Yes. And we're going to talk about MySQL Document Store in a lot more detail in two weeks, so don't forget to tune in to that episode. Coming back to this, you spoke about how MySQL Database Service or MDS on OCI is easy to use. What about its security? MDS security first means it is built on Gen 2 cloud infrastructure.   00;05;30;28 - 00;05;57;13 Data is encrypted for privacy. Data is on OCI block volume. So what does this Gen 2 cloud infrastructure offer? Is it more secure? Oracle Cloud is secure by design and architected very differently from the Gen 1 clouds of our competitors. Gen 2 provides maximum isolation and protection. That means Oracle cannot see customer data and users cannot access our cloud control computer.   00;05;57;15 - 00;06;27;09 Gen 2 architecture allows us to offer superior performance on our compute objects. Finally, Oracle Cloud is open. Customers can run Oracle software, third-party options, open source, whatever you choose without modifications, trade-offs, or lock-ins. Just to dive a little deeper into this, what kind of security features does MySQL Database Service offer to protect data? Data security has become a top priority for all organizations.   00;06;27;12 - 00;06;55;17 MySQL Database Service can help you protect your data against external attacks, as well as internal malicious users with a range of advanced security features. Those advanced security features can also help you meet industry and regulatory compliance requirements, including GDPR, PCI, and HIPPA. When a security vulnerability is discovered, you'll get the fix directly from the MySQL team, from the team that actually develops MySQL.   00;06;55;19 - 00;07;22;16 I want to talk about MySQL Enterprise Edition that you brought up earlier. Can you tell us a little more about it? MySQL Database Service is the only public cloud service built on MySQL Enterprise Edition, which includes 24/7 support from the team that actually builds MySQL, at no additional cost. All of the other cloud vendors are using the Community Edition of MySQL, so they lack the Enterprise Edition features and tools.   00;07;22;22 - 00;07;53;24 What are some of the default features that are available in MySQL Database Service? MySQL Enterprise scalability, also known as the thread pool plugin, data-at-rest encryption, native backup, and OCI built-in native monitoring. You can also install MySQL Enterprise Monitor to monitor MySQL Database Service remotely. MySQL works well with your existing Oracle investments like Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle Analytics Cloud, Oracle GoldenGate, and more.   00;07;53;27 - 00;08;17;20 MySQL Database Service customers can easily use Docker and Kubernetes for DevOps operations. So how much of this is managed by the MySQL team and how much is the responsibility of the user? MySQL Database Service is a fully managed database service. A MySQL Database Service user is responsible for logical schema modeling, query design and optimization, define data access and retention policies.   00;08;17;22 - 00;08;44;26 The MySQL team is responsible for providing automation for operating system installation, database and OS patching, including security patches, backup, and recovery. The system backs up the data for you, but in an emergency, you can restore it to a new instance with a click. Monitoring and log handling. Security with advanced options available in MySQL Enterprise Edition.   00;08;44;28 - 00;09;01;18 And of course, maintaining the data center for you. To use MDS, users must have OCI tenancy, a compartment, belong to a group with required policies.   00;09;01;21 - 00;09;28;28 Did you know that Oracle University offers free courses on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? You'll find training on everything from cloud computing, database, and security to artificial intelligence and machine learning, all of which is available free to subscribers. So get going. Pick a course of your choice, get certified, join the Oracle University Learning Community, and network with your peers. If you're already an Oracle MyLearn user, go to MyLearn to begin your journey.   00;09;29;03 - 00;09;40;24 If you have not yet accessed Oracle MyLearn, visit mylearn.oracle.com and create an account to get started.   00;09;40;27 - 00;10;05;20 Welcome back! Autumn, tell us about the system architecture of MySQL Database Service. A database system is a logical container for the MySQL instance. It provides an interface enabling management of tasks, such as provisioning, backup and restore, monitoring, and so on. It also provides a read and write endpoint, enabling you to connect to the MySQL instance using the standard protocols.   00;10;05;28 - 00;10;31;27 And what components does a MySQL Database Service DB system consist of? A computer instance, an Oracle Linux operating system, the latest version of MySQL server Enterprise Edition, a virtual network interface card, VNIC, that attaches the DB system to a subnet of the virtual cloud network, network-attached higher performance block storage. Is there a way to monitor how the MySQL Database Service is performing?   00;10;31;29 - 00;10;59;29 You can monitor the health, capacity, and performance of your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure MySQL Database Service resources by using metrics, alarms, and notifications. The MySQL Database Service metrics enable you to measure useful quantitative data about your MySQL databases such as current connection information, statement activity, and latency, host CPU, memory, and disk I/O utilization, and so on.   00;11;00;03 - 00;11;23;15 You can use metrics data to diagnose and troubleshoot problems with MySQL databases. What should I keep in mind about managing the SQL database? Stopped MySQL Database Service system stops billing for OCPUs, but you also cannot connect to the DB system. During MDS automatic update, the operating system is upgraded along with patching of the MySQL server.   00;11;23;17 - 00;11;49;15 Metrics are used to measure useful data about MySQL Database Service system. Turning on automatic backups is an update to MDS to enable automatic backups. MDS backups can be removed by using the details pages and OCI and clicking Delete. Thanks for that detailed explanation on MySQL, Autumn. Can you also touch upon MySQL HeatWave? Why would you use it over traditional methods of running analytics on MySQL data?   00;11;49;18 - 00;12;18;01 Many organizations choose MySQL to store their valuable enterprise data. MySQL is optimized for Online Transaction Processing, OLTP, but it is not designed for Online Analytic Processing, OLAP. As a result, organizations that need to efficiently run analytics on data stored in MySQL database move their data to another database to run analytic applications such as Amazon Redshift.   00;12;18;04 - 00;12;41;22 MySQL HeatWave is designed to enable customers to run analytics on data that is stored in MySQL database without moving data to another database. What are the key features and components of HeatWave? HeatWave is built on an innovative in-memory analytics engine that is architected for scalability and performance, and is optimized for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OCI.   00;12;41;24 - 00;13;05;29 It is enabled when you add a HeatWave cluster to a MySQL database system. A HeatWave cluster comprises a MySQL DB system node and two or more HeatWave nodes. The MySQL DB system node includes a plugin that is responsible for cluster management, loading data into the HeatWave cluster, query scheduling, and returning query results to the MySQL database system.   00;13;06;02 - 00;13;29;15 The HeatWave nodes store data and memory and processed analytics queries. Each HeatWave node contains an instance of the HeatWave. The number of HeatWave nodes required depends on the size of your data and the amount of compression that is achieved when loading the data into the HeatWave cluster. Various aspects of HeatWave use machine-learning-driven automation that helps to reduce database administrative costs.   00;13;29;18 - 00;13;52;11 Thanks, Autumn, for joining us today. We're looking forward to having you again next week to talk to us about Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service.

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 Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs. 00;00;38;20 - 00;01;01;13 Hi there. In today's special episode, we're going to talk about all the steps you can take to evaluate your organization's security, privacy, and compliance requirements using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We'll also explore some of the resources that are available to help you do so. And to tell us all about it, we're joined by two guests from Oracle's corporate security organization. 00;01;01;16 - 00;01;32;25 Nancy Kramer is a Senior Director in Global Information Security. She has 20 years of experience in risk management, security, privacy, and compliance audits involving complex business processes and IT systems. She also provides thought leadership, including engagement with industry organizations. Dr. Betina Tagle is also with Global Information Security. She has over 20 years of experience with cybersecurity and compliance in both the private and public sector. 00;01;32;27 - 00;01;52;26 Thank you so much, Nancy and Betina, for being with us today. Yes, this is such an important topic to learn more about. I'm really interested in what you have to share with us. Thank you so much for having us. We are delighted to help our customers learn more about how to securely reap the benefits of cloud. Thanks for this opportunity, Niki and Lois. 00;01;52;28 - 00;02;25;26 As organizations adopt cloud services, they're seeking guidance on evaluating cloud service providers. Our goal is to offer helpful insights on the approach. Let's start with setting some context. What kind of challenges do organizations face in their cloud adoption journey? Organizations continue to migrate business-critical applications and workloads to the cloud. The benefits are compelling. Leveraging the cloud lets organizations focus on their core mission and minimize capital expenditure. 00;02;25;29 - 00;03;08;09 With cloud services, organizations still own their data while leveraging the expertise, economy of scale, technical flexibility, and scalability offered by their cloud providers. When organizations are considering their cloud strategy, they need to consider their security, privacy, and compliance objectives from internal and external sources, compiling their requirements for the cloud service providers. For example, external requirements may include applicable laws and regulations based on the organization's location, their customer location, industry, or the type of data they process. 00;03;08;12 - 00;03;50;02 Organizations would benefit from a thorough analysis of the regulatory environment by their legal team. Internal requirements may be defined by the organization's Board of Directors, CEO, CISO, and other executives, as well as internal policies and contractual commitments to their customers. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI, provides services, features, and documentation resources to support these customer obligations. Oracle University and OCI also offer helpful courses to guide customers through securing their cloud tendencies using various OCI features and services. 00;03;50;03 - 00;04;22;19 I want to come back to those courses later, but first, who does what in the cloud? Which operational technology management tasks are handled by the cloud provider and which are the customer's responsibility? I think it will help if I start by defining the categories of Oracle offerings and summarizing who does what per category. This will clarify the notion of the shared management model that is predominant in the cloud as well as the relative scope of available security assurance validations. 00;04;22;22 - 00;04;57;08 OCI services can be used to build and operate computing environments, which include data analysis, storage, system integrations, enterprise workloads, and cloud native or containerized applications. Oracle manages the hosted tools, but the customer is responsible for how they build, configure, and use these tools, and for the data processed in their tenancies. Some examples of OCI services are compute and autonomous database. 00;04;57;10 - 00;05;30;11 Exactly right, Betina. In contrast, cloud applications are hosted using a Software as a Service or SaaS model in which the cloud provider, such as Oracle, manages the cloud applications and the underlying infrastructure. Customers are responsible for how they configure and use these SaaS applications and for the data processed in their cloud tendencies. Examples of these services include Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP, and Human Capital Management, or HCM. 00;05;30;13 - 00;05;59;11 Customers are also responsible for securing any third-party integration associated with these SaaS offerings, as well as any custom code extension scripts that they add to the applications. Let me highlight the differences a bit more in relation to the traditional on-premises model where companies such as Oracle provide hardware and software that customers install, deploy, and manage in their own computing environments. 00;05;59;13 - 00;06;25;23 The customer is wholly responsible for the management of the entire technology environment in which those products are deployed and operated, as well as the data they process. That makes sense. Right, Lois. And Oracle strongly recommends that customers protect the computing environment they manage by installing security updates delivered through the Critical Patch Update, CPU, and Security Alert programs without delay. 00;06;25;26 - 00;06;59;08 Customers can view and even subscribe to notifications about these security updates at oracle.com/security-alerts. Just to summarize, cloud providers are responsible for the security of the cloud, and customers are responsible for security in the cloud. They still decide on what data to process, where, and how. No matter what type of cloud service, OCI or SaaS, customers should still do the following. 00;06;59;08 - 00;07;34;01 Implement settings for authentication and authorization per their security and privacy requirements for accounts and passwords. Manage access for user accounts, including auditing which user accounts have access to what data. Monitor the available logs and reports, and respond to security events as well as determine what data to process and manage that data per their organization's security and privacy objectives. And you're going to be joining us in the Oracle University Learning Community soon for a special live event to talk about all of this in more detail, right? 00;07;34;02 - 00;07;57;13 Yes, we are. We are so excited to talk to everyone in the community. We're going to look at this topic in-depth in the special live event that is scheduled for June 29th. We will walk you through a tour of relevant resources on oracle.com so you can make sure to plan ahead and attend. And you'll need to be a member of the community if you want to attend. 00;07;57;14 - 00;08;17;13 So be sure you join and register for the event today. If you're not already a member of the community, you can sign up by visiting mylearn.oracle.com. You'll find all the live events, including the one Nancy and Betina will be hosting, on the community home page. So Betina, how can people see a preview of those oracle.com resources? 00;08;17;14 - 00;08;52;08 Oracle offers a wealth of security and cloud compliance information on the Oracle Trust Center found at oracle.com/trust. The site includes Oracle Corporate security practices, the cloud compliance site of third-party independent attestations to various global and regional compliance frameworks, and the Oracle Security blog. You can view the independent third-party certifications for OCI in the Trust Center by clicking the Attestations link under the Cloud Compliance heading. 00;08;52;10 - 00;09;22;06 Please note that each attestation is scoped to a particular set of cloud services and data center regions. Clicking on a compliance framework name retrieves a general description and the link to the entity providing the compliance framework. Some examples of global compliance frameworks include ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cloud Security Alliance Star, and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards or PCI DSS. 00;09;22;08 - 00;09;45;23 This site also includes geography-specific standards, such as US FedRAMP, UK CyberEssentials, European Union Cloud Code of Conduct for Privacy, and IRAP for Australia. Obviously, this information is subject to change and is updated frequently. 00;09;45;25 - 00;10;11;16 Want to learn more about modern best practices for cloud applications? Oracle University offers business processes training for Human Capital Management, Financials, Customer Experience, Supply Chain, and Procurement. From now through August 31st, you can take the training for any of these areas and get certified for free as well. Oracle Cloud training and certifications empower you to explore limitless possibilities in the cloud landscape. 00;10;11;17 - 00;10;29;10 Gain the knowledge and skills needed to design, deploy, secure, and operate modern cloud infrastructure and applications with confidence. Go to education.oracle.com for more details. What are you waiting for? Get certified today. 00;10;29;12 - 00;11;04;29 Welcome back. Let's say there's a customer who wants to view OCI compliance attestations. I know they can always contact Sales to get these audit reports, but are there any self-service options? Yes. OCI customers can download OCI attestations of compliance to various compliance frameworks, including global information security standards, via the OCI Console and the Compliance Documents screen. There are multiple types of compliance documents available depending on the compliance framework or standard. 00;11;05;02 - 00;11;50;21 These include audit reports, attestations of compliance, and certificates of compliance. While logged in to the OCI Console for your tenancy, open the navigation menu. Click Identity and Security from the left menu that appears and then click Compliance on the screen that appears. The Compliance Documents page displays all available documents. You can filter, sort, and download the compliance documents of interest from this page via the command line interface and using the OCI API. Instructions for accessing compliance documents are also in the OCI product documentation at docs.oracle.com. 00;11;50;21 - 00;12;20;04 Thanks, Betina. That's great to know. Nancy, what else does Oracle offer to help our customers secure their cloud workloads running on OCI? I can offer two additional recommendations. The first is to take advantage of the in-depth OCI courses available through Oracle University. The OCI learning subscription includes introductory as well as expert-level courses. 00;12;20;06 - 00;12;59;02 To get started, there's an OCI Foundations learning path that describes the types of services OCI offers, has some basic recommendations for configuring your tenancy so that you meet your organization's security and privacy and compliance objectives. There are some key terminology you'll be introduced to in that learning path, as well as recommendations for architecture that provide resilience and business continuity. For example, OCI regions typically have multiple availability domains which each, in turn, have multiple fault domains. 00;12;59;05 - 00;13;31;01 OCI designed these availability and fault domains to have redundant systems so that a disruption of service in one availability domain does not result in a disruption to all availability domains in that region. These kinds of architectural and system design choices will help organizations avoid disruption of their operations when using systems running in OCI. A more advanced Oracle University offering is the Cybersecurity and Oracle Cloud learning path. 00;13;31;03 - 00;13;58;21 This group of courses explains the various OCI services that can be used to implement information security controls for identity management, networks, managing encryption keys, network firewalls, vulnerability scanning, compartment management practices, and so much more. And all of our OCI training in MyLearn is available free to anyone. So, there are really no barriers to learning if you're interested in diving in. 00;13;58;23 - 00;14;36;09 Those are some great course recommendations, Nancy and Bettina. So, Nancy, you said you had two recommendations. What's the other one? My second suggestion is for customers to evaluate the suitability of OCI cloud services by downloading and reading the detailed information about security practices from oracle.com. Oracle published Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaires, also called CAIQ or "CAKE" for various cloud services, including for OCI. CAIQs are industry-standard questionnaires from the Cloud Security Alliance. 00;14;36;12 - 00;15;11;14 That is a global organization which defined a set of controls companies can use to evaluate all types of cloud services to essential security controls in a fair and consistent manner. Each CAIQ answers several hundred questions, encompassing important information security control domains such as audit and assurance, application security, business continuity, change management, data center physical controls, human resources, identity and access management, incident management, and finally, threat and vulnerability management. 00;15;11;14 - 00;15;38;22 These publicly-available CAIQs encompass a broad set of information security policies and practices that are most relevant for cloud services. You can download the OCI CAIQ from oracle.com/trust by drilling down on the Security Practices for Cloud section. We will also add it in the show notes so that it's easily accessible. 00;15;38;25 - 00;16;07;16 Thank you, Betina and Nancy. This has been a very informative conversation. I had no idea about all the details that went into corporate security. I can't wait for the live tour of these oracle.com public resources in the Oracle University Learning Community on June 29th. We're very much looking forward to that event as well. Thank you so much for giving us a chance to share guidance about how organizations can evaluate the security, compliance, and privacy of cloud service providers. 00;16;07;18 - 00;16;31;02 We look forward to being back here again. We'd love that. Thanks again! In our next episode, we'll look at Oracle Machine Learning with Cloud Engineer Nick Commisso. Until then, this is Nikita Abraham and Lois Houston signing off.

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.

Oracle Database Cloud Service

Oracle Database Cloud Service

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.
