2. Activity Guide II: Create Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), Subnets, Security List, Gateway & Route Table For VM/BM & ExaCS

Networking has a big role in Cloud database for example to make a connection between on-premise and cloud database and to store database backup to object storage networking is required.

To know more about Networking, I would highly recommend you to check my previous post on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): Networking https://k21academy.com/oci18

3. Activity Guide III: How To Generate SSH Keys

Oracle Cloud Services are built on the top of OCI, You will need an SSH key pair to access the Linux/Database or Exadata instances. An SSH key pair comprises a Private key and a Public key. You keep the private key on your personal computer and provide the Public key every time you launch an Instance.

Note: To know about how to create ssh key check here https://k21academy.com/oci51

4. Activity Guide IV: Create & Access User-Managed Database

The Database service offers autonomous and user-managed Oracle Database solutions.

The next step you should know about is User-managed solutions that are Bare metal, Virtual machine, and Exadata DB systems that you can customize with the resources and settings that meet your needs.

This Activity Guide helps you in creating  Database in OCI & accessing via putty

Note: To know about how to provision database check here https://k21academy.com/clouddba60

5. Activity Guide V: Create & Access Autonomous Database

6. Activity Guide VI: Create & Access Exadata DB System in OCI

An Exadata DB system consists of a quarter rack, half rack, or full rack of compute nodes and storage servers, with high-speed, low-latency Band network.

In this Activity Guide, You will provision the Exadata DB System in OCI

7. Activity Guide VII: Administration Database (Start, Stop, Terminate, Cloning, Scale, Manage)

Then we learn how to Manage Database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which includes  Start /Stop Database, Scale Up & Scale Down database, and will also see how will you manage the database from  DBCLI a command-line utility.

8. Activity Guide VIII: Monitoring Autonomous Database on OCI

In this activity guide covered how to monitor the performance of the database, how to manage Runaway SQL Statements, and how to check the performance hub console.

9. Activity Guide IX: Run SQL Statements in Oracle Machine Learning

In this guide, we will learn how to create Oracle machine learning users, Run SQL statement, share & access notebooks and create & run SQL statements.

10. Activity Guide X: Command Line Utilities (DBaasCli, OCI CLI, DBCLI)

In this guide, we will learn about the Alternate method for managing OCI resources.

Note: To know how to configure command-line Interface in OCI click here https://k21academy.com/oci54

11. Activity Guide XI: Patching VM/BM DB System & Database On OCI

A patch is applied on the database to update, fix, or improve it. This includes fixing security bugs,  patches usually being called bugfixes or bug fixes, and improving the functionality, usability or performance.

In this activity guide, you will be performing one of the common tasks for DBA’s, which is patching from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console and the command-line interface both.

12. Activity Guide XII: Patching (Exadata Cloud Tooling, Grid, DB System, Operating System) in ExaCS

In this Activity Guide, you will apply a patch to Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service, and roll back the patch as necessary.

13. Lab Activity Guide XIII: Backup & Restore VM/BM & Autonomous DB System

Database backup is the process of backing up the stored data of database. It enables the creation of a duplicate instance or copy of a database in case the primary database crashes, is corrupted or is lost.

In this guide we will cover how you can Backup & Restore Database that is On Cloud to Cloud Object Storage, Creating an On-Demand Backup of Database, and Restoring from the Backup.

15. Activity Guide XV: Migrate an On-Premises Database Using a Standalone Backup In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

In this Activity Guide, You will see how to migrate an on-premises database using a standalone backup in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), A variety of methods exist for migrating data from on-premises databases to databases in the  DB System in OCI.

These include Data Pump export and import, exporting to external tables, remote cloning, and unplugging and plugging databases. Some of these methods support migrating on-premises 11g to cloud 11g, some support migrating on-premises 11g to cloud 12c, and some methods support migrating and upgrading on-premises 11gR2 to cloud12c.

16. Activity Guide XVI: Migrate On-Premise Database To Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Datapump Transport tablespace

In this Activity Guide, You will see how to migrate an on-premises database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Datapump Transport tablespace.

17. Activity Guide XVII: Migrate (Lift & Shift) Oracle Database Using Import Export into ADW

In this guide, we cover How we can Lift Shift On-Premise To Cloud Migration (OCI)Using DataPump Export/Import.

18. Activity Guide XVIII: Loading Data Into Autonomous Data Warehouse

Once you are done with provisioning ADW instance and connecting to the instance, then you should know How to Create Users and Groups and How to load data into your Autonomous Data Warehouse Instance.

In this Activity Guide, you will create the IAM User, group and required policy and then load the required data into your Autonomous Data Warehouse Instance using DBMS_CLOUD Utility after connecting via SQL Developer.

The above guide makes your learning & understanding the concepts of Oracle Database Cloud Service much easier and helps in qualifying Oracle database Cloud Service 1Z0-998-20 & Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2020 Specialist 1Z0-931-20 Certification in one go.
