Looks fun! 😀I do similar stuff with Peloton but not that much during summer time (MTB only!)
Lots of very good info from that session, thank you!
New video: Testing Autonomous Database cross-region Data Guard for FREE. (with GCP)

New blog post: Testing connectivity to OCI Streaming @oracleace www.thatfinnishguy.blog/2025/08/14/t...
Nice :)
Would it make sense to use this OCI (or DB@X) databases also? Kinda like pre-check manually or does the OCI DB pre-check do the same?
What Exascale needs (IMO) is support for 19c. Feels like a powerhouse on the side which people don't have any reason to go to right now for a wider adoption.
This was nice, thanks to you both!
Although, I think your Redwood UI review might be slightly too positive. 😀
New blog post: Using gcloud CLI to provision and operate Autonomous Database@Google.
Also my final post for this @oracleace cycle! Let's continue in June! 😀

New blog post: Can I connect to my Autonomous Database with a custom hostname?
SPOILER: Yes you can!

Weirdly enough my Oracle adventures took me first to Oracle Cloud World in Vegas.. Then to AWS re:Invent in Vegas and now again after few months.. Google Next 25 in Vegas. 😀🇨🇦🇫🇮🇺🇸
Looks like MOS (Oracle Support), enabled MFA yesterday for accounts. Continuing the good track record with MOS updates, seems you can only use SMS or email for the second factor. Using the Mobile Authenticator is probably too much.
The login process is now THREE PAGES vs the old single login.
I had the pleasure to announce the OCI Networking 2025 Professional certification, pumped that they asked me to write the announcement as I've always admired the @Oracle_Edu team behind these exams and learning content! @oracleace @OracleCloud

Here's my ora-dbXchecker which prints the output of Exa infrastructure in OCI/Azure/GCP.
FIgured it'll be good to get summary of the whole Exadata via APIs and not run single commands/browse the Console.

Been working on this discovery / deployment report script for a while, it's just a "simple" bash script but once you've deployed your DB@X (Exadata), it's nice to get all the info to a report.
Hoping to put it out next week! @oracleace.bsky.social
I think then if you want dashboard and more advanced stuff, you will have to do it with Logging Analytics. 😀 $$$
Would using jq query then work together with OCI CLI? I did something similar with Cloud Guard detector recipes, would have to test if it applies here. :)
If you use LogSearch then wildcard will work. I tested with IP* so it gets all the sources with different ports for data.backendAddr = '10.0.0.20*'
Which logs you mean? VCN Flow Logs handle it separately at least.
Blog post! New Console experience for OCI. I do like it!

I love them with MTB!
Blog post! Two part post where I use ZDM to migrate my database to Oracle Autonomous DB on GCP. First part goes through the network setup as Autonomous runs on private VPC in Google.
How can we connect and make sure ZDM works?

So I guess I'm frustrated since I don't see consistency with this! And can't write the post!
This one talks about having to set it for private DNS: docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paa...
Note that API GW FQDN is not the usual oraclevcn.com either.
Was writing a blog post on Autonomous DB and private endpoints (and DNS). We had issue where using UTL_HTTP and adding ACL gave unknown host for private API GW and after adding ROUTE_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS property it started to work. However.. :) Provisioned new DB and it works without the property!
Seems like @oraclecloud.bsky.social had multiple issues on Friday, the email communication is spot on what they send, but what troubles me is they keep the OCI status page up and alive but don't bother updating it in the past 8 months anymore.
