Linux Container (not to be confused with Oracle 12c Container database) like Docker and LxC is the next-generation virtualization technology. Imagine having all the benefits of a hypervisor-based virtual machine, but with no performance overhead. Its this combination that makes containers ideal for databases, especially when running on bare metal. While the adoption of containers…

Docker greatly simplifies the way in which applications and their dependencies are packaged and distributed. While modern, microservices-based applications have greatly benefitted with the use of docker, this technology can be applied to traditional, Oracle-based applications as well. Typically, to create a new WebLogic environment, one would download the installation packages, install weblogic, create the domain and…

In 2008, Harald van Breederode and Joel Goodman wrote a white paper titled "Performing an Oracle DBA 1.0 to Oracle DBA 2.0 Upgrade" in which they suggested DBAs needed to add storage and OS skills to remain relevant in a shifting technical landscape. The role of today's DBA has broadened considerably and with that comes…
