Bridging the Gap Between Oracle Database and Cloud-Native Communities

This research focused on assessing Oracle DBAs' familiarity with cloud technologies (e.g., landing zones, IaC automation) and comparing it to cloud experts' awareness of Oracle Database advancements (e.g., container/pluggable databases). Findings revealed a knowledge gap between the two groups. To address this, I plan a two-week intensive learning journey inspired by Oracle CloudWorld 2024. This includes re-deploying Oracle Database editions, exploring Autonomous Database, understanding Oracle Exadata and Real Application Clusters (RAC), and deepening my knowledge of Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA).

Using ChatGPT to assist multi-cloud scenarios

I have generated Terraform code for the same Ubuntu VM with OpenAI's Chat GPT-4 and compared the VM prices per region in a fancy table. HCL code results are quite accurate, however, I would not trust price comparison due to outdated information. You can get adjustable results in minutes saving lots of human research time.
