In the 4th episode I will look into provisioning and configuring SOA Suite itself. While I will first show those steps in a minimalistic way, to wrap up, the final episodes will cover patching and more advanced deployment options.<\/p>\n While there are options to running containers in OCI in a managed fashion, e.g. using the Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes<\/a> or Oracle Container Instances<\/a>, the most flexible and often cheapest option to run docker on OCI is by leveraging Virtual Machines<\/a>. For the purpose of this blog, I've created a new virtual machine in a public network subnet (so it is directly accessible through the internet) as follows:<\/p>\n Creation of a docker-test virtual machine with Oracle Linux 8<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In general, \"bursting\" (so over-subscribing) is a helpful feature to reduce costs; however keep in mind that this is not a good idea when using software that is licensed \"by processor core\":<\/p>\n Flexible selection of an appropriate compute shape<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n After creating the virtual machine ssh into the newly created instance and install docker as follows. If you increased the boot volume size grow the file system appropriately:<\/p>\n After having installed docker itself you can perform a quick test e.g. as follows:<\/p>\n This should download and start the hello-world docker container similar to the following screenshot:<\/p>\n As shown creating a docker host e.g. on OCI is straightforward. In the next section of the blog, we'll see how we can run an Oracle Database on this Docker host.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Operating \u2013 installing and maintaining \u2013 Oracle Fusion Middleware, especially Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.4 is quite some work.
