Oracle OpenWorld 2013 Schedule

The annual Oracle OpenWorld global technology conference being held in San Francisco, CA is almost upon us. It kicks off September 22 with user group symposiums and runs until September 26. I was lucky enough to be chosen as speaker again this year. I say lucky because I believe there are much better speakers with more interesting topics that should've been accepted over mine. Whatever the reason, I'm happy and I'm looking forward to meeting up with old friends and networking with some of the best technologists and speakers in the world.
I will be participating in quite a few activities - mostly on Sunday. Here a few sessions that I'm scheduled to either present or be a panelist in.

I also plan on attending some OakTableWorld sessions which showcases the top talents in the Oracle community. Lots of technical deep dives - without the fluff.
My tentative schedule is also available here.

Bloggers meetup is also an OpenWorld networking/social staple.

Finally, there are a number of stay-in-shape activities being planned. Admittedly I've not been in any sort of good physical shape lately and have adopted a more or less sedentary mode -(aside from doing activities with my kids). But maybe this will  motivate me to get back in shape. We'll see :).

Setup a Wordpress site in 10 Minutes using Oracle Container Cloud Service

Image
Oracle Container Cloud Service Oracle Container Cloud Service lets you easily deploy applications based on docker images. If you don't have an existing application you can create one on docker. However, the easiest method to get a full application up and running is by deploying a stack. Oracle Container Cloud Service provides several example stacks that you can deploy, including web servers based on NGINX or Apache, MongoDB database, and Wordpress. You can find more examples on Oracle GitHub Site . Let's see just how easy it is to spin up a Wordpress site using the Oracle Container Cloud Service. Prerequisites: Access to Oracle Cloud Account Subscription to Oracle IaaS Service First, go to the Oracle Container Cloud Service console and launch a new service. In this example, I created a service with three containers. One manager and two worker nodes. Choose an appropriate "shape" for your compute instances. Note: Oracle uses the term "shape" to r...

Oracle Home Cloning: Tools and Techniques

One of the many necessary and frequent tasks that a database administrator performs before creating a database is installing the Oracle database binaries. These binaries form what is known as an Oracle Home (referenced by the ORACLE_HOME environment variable on Linux and UNIX environments). Unfortunately, this is also one of the most mundane and uninteresting tasks a DBA can perform. So like all good DBAs know, the best way to deal with such repetitive task is to automate it. Automating installations of Oracle database binaries enables us to reliably repeat the process to enable faster installation as well as provide identical copies of the software in multiple environments. Fortunately, Oracle allows us to clone the Oracle database binaries from one environment to another. Cloning your Oracle binaries from a source copy with all the necessary patches applied enables us to have gold images which can then be deployed to multiple environments. The procedure for cloning an Oracle home...
