Cloud, Microservices and Container Workshop in South Africa!

Lot’s of people are talking about these topics nowadays. Heaps of slides and samples are available for download, lots of presentations can simply be streamed from youtube.

In Johannesburg we were working with these solutions hands-on: I delivered a 3 day Cloud, Microservices and Containers workshop on behalf of Oracle.

Find attached some impressions from the smart and fun group of devs and architects I was working with.

 

 

Next Stop: SOALatam Conference Lima / Peru

Banner-Azul-SOAConference

Just back from Oracle Open Word 2015 in San Francisco, it’s a great honor for me that my presentation Docker Containers: A Thorough and Critical Overview was accepted for the the SOALatam conference in Lima. This is an independent conference but many examples and the demos will be based on Oracle Fusion Middleware or WebLogic. We cover key topics such as Security, Docker tools, Docker in public Clouds (Amazon, Google, Oracle).

Most presentation will be in Spanish, I will the only non-latino speaker apart from Thomas Erl.

I am looking forward to a world class conference in Lima and to meeting friends such as Tabata Jessica Pérez as well as Rolando Carrasco and Arturo Viveros from the SOA myth buster team. Thomas Erl is the keynote speaker and it’s also a good opportunity to win a top notch computer science text book 🙂

Heaps of reasons for a trip to Lima. CU there!

Oracle Cloud: ICS

Quite a while ago (a year before Larry announced the Oracle Public Cloud) I wrote about SaaS applications and a service bus PaaS to interconnect services: “… services are integrated and virtualized by a service bus in the cloud and orchestrated by a workflow system in the cloud [Oracle Middleware and Cloud Computing] “.

Back then it almost seemed like building castles in Spain. Indeed it took several years to build the PaaS service – yet today Thomas Kurian and Larry Ellison announce Oracle’s ICS. Now it’s out there with all the agility that comes with a cloud based solution.

It’s the cloud! So get a test account, play with it, scale it and try to break it!

Let me know what you think using @frankmunz and add: @soacommunity.

My WebLogic 12c talk on Tuesday.

Cloud Talk

Don’t miss my cloud talk! I will demonstrate live a couple of things you won’t be able to with the Oracle cloud 😉  Public Cloud talk on Wednesday. More chocolate and of course another book to win!

Oracle Database as a Service in the Amazon Cloud: Now with APEX, Oracle XML DB and your Data Center’s IPs.

Amazon Web Services improved its Relational Database as a Service (RDS) for Oracle. It now supports APEX (finally, see the lengthy APEX discussion here), the OracleXMLDB and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
