OIC

Tenancy: Secure and isolated partition within oci where you create, organize, administer your cloud resources. Tenancy is identified by unique id Tenancy. 

Regions: Geographic area.  Available Domains are data centers within regions.

 

IAM- Identity and Access Management

 

Service Onboarding: your application is deployed in an environment

Tenant Onboarding: a tenant is provisioned for an application.

Tenant Offboarding: a tenant is deprovisioned for an application. 

Customer provisioning is handled by Oracle systems outside of AI Apps called HSM and TAS.  

When a customer buys (or cancels) an AI Apps product, these systems will call our RSM system to say "please provision / deprovision customer X for Service A".

Application onboarder could do lots of things, such as:

• Create a Kubernetes namespace
• Register ingredients in pegasus
• Register any multi-tenant routes with WTSS
• Register workflows with YAS
• Deploy a multi-tenant service for the app using helm

 

When a customer purchases a product, the upstream provisioning services (like TAS and HSM, which are of course outside AI Apps), will create an identity in IDCS, and then call the Service Manager. 

Service Manager then calls the Resource Onboarding Service, which first triggers "core platform on boarding", and then your application onboarder.  Core platform onboarding performs the following:

• creation of HBase namespace for the tenant (this may soon be removed)
• creation of Solr collection for the tenant (this is no longer done)
• creation of cloud storage buckets for the tenant (one of each flavour: internal, external, public, archive)
• creation of DNS entries for the tenant (subject to review; this may be moved / removed at some point)
  

After that's complete, your onboarder is called via a REST API (supplied via the framework - you don't need to write this), passing in the onboarding payload, which triggers the TenantOnboarding.runStepsAndActions() method

Examples of things you might want to do during tenant onboarding include:

• Schedule workflows with YAS for the tenant
• Create a kubernetes namespace
• Creation of an Athena application for the tenant
• create the application in IDCS for the tenant
• create a table in ATP for the tenant
• deploy a tenant-specific service for your App using helm

Jorgans

• Bare Metal: A Bare Metal Compute Instance gives you dedicated physical server access for the highest performance and strong isolation. It is a Non-Shared Hardware, ideal for the customers with a strict regulatory requirement whereby sharing at VM level is not permitted. 

  Virtual Machine: A virtual machine (VM) is an independent computing environment that runs on the top of a hypervisor. The virtualization makes it possible to run multiple VMs that are isolated from each other. 

Oracle Cloud

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is an IaaS that provides on-premises high-performance computing power to meet the demands of high-growth cloud and enterprise companies.
• OCI can reduce overhead and operational costs, investments in hardware and associated maintenance, and run large workloads at scale without a jump in pricing. 3. Greater Scalability – Another key benefit of OCI is its ability to scale to provide as much (or as little) compute power and storage as you require.
  

(OCI-C) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (Gen 1) :

• It provides only Virtual Machines (whereas OCI can also provide Bare Metal)
• OCI-C formerly OPC announced at Oracle Open World (OOW) 2014, was renamed to OCI -C at OOW 2017
• It can be deployed as a) Elastic Compute b) Dedicated Compute c) Sparc Model 300
• What’s not Available in OCI -C
• Availability Domain (AD) (To know more about Availablity Domin Click here)
• Compartment (To know more about Compartments Click here)
• Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) (To know more about Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) Click here)
• Oracle Bare Metal (BM) (To know more about Bare Metal (BM) Click here)
• Note: Oracle has deprecated OCI -C and it is available only for old customers now.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Gen 2:

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) like OCI-C is also IaaS offering that provides Compute, Network but as Virtual Cloud Network, Availability Domain and additionally Edge Services like Email, DNS, Load Balancer etc (more on Edge Services little later)
• Oracle OCI provides both Bare Metal & Virtual Machines (whereas OCI-C provides only Virtual Machine) [Updated on 15th Mar, Thanks Manjunath for pointing out typo]
• The hypervisor in VM option of OCI is based on KVM (whereas on OCI-C this is Xen based Hypervisor)
• Bring Your Own Hypervisor (BYOH) only available in OCI.
  

 Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and Integration Cloud Service (ICS) are iPaaS offerings from Oracle. ICS was released back in 2015 has now been superseded by OIC. Customers on ICS can choose to be on ICS or migrate to OIC to take advantage of new features and services built into OIC.

 

  Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and SOA Cloud Service are two cloud integration products that have been launched by Oracle in recent times. Oracle Integration Cloud is a PaaS offering from Integrations.
