Private cloud / on premises
 the same?
Distinction by management

Evolution to DB as a Service
Distinction by evolution
Private / Public Cloud:
• Standardized
• Catalog of Services
• Licenses vs metering
• Automated cost allocation
• Shared resources
• Rapid service elasticity

Business reasons
…as long as costs, reliability, security,
performance etc. meets the demands.

OEM 13C
 a single pane of glass

OEM13C
 Public Cloud Vendors

OEM13C agents
 will it fly ?
10.110.100.3
82.5.88.4

Proof of Concept
 Connections Public Cloud

OEM13c – Create DBaaS
• Generate SSH keys - needed for creating cloud services
• Get a [Trial] Subscription to the Oracle Database
Cloud
• Complete a wizard to request provisioning of a Database Cloud
Service Instance (2)

Cloud access DBaaS
• Access the newly created database instance – through cloud based web
consoles

DBaaS access: Enterprise
Manager 12c Express
https://<ip-number>:5500/em

DBaaS monitoring
• https://<ip-number>/dbaas_monitor/#/

EM13C Oracle Cloud - Preparations
• Convert existing agent into Hybrid Cloud Gateway Agent:
# emcli register_hybridgateway_agent -hybridgateway_agent=‘<agent>:<port>’
• Upload ssh-keys to Enterprise Manager (Named Credentials)
• Enable network access security rules in the Compute Cloud Service
Console to allow access. E.g. sqlnet, ssh, ping.

Oracle Cloud
 prerequisites deployment agent
Hybrid Cloud Agent:
• You can deploy a Hybrid Cloud Agent only on an Oracle Linux x86-64
operating system
• The Hybrid Cloud Gateway Agent is supported on all operating systems

Oracle Cloud
 deploying agent - 1

Oracle Cloud:
 Deploying agent - Root.sh
• Deployed as user Oracle. User OPC has sudo privilege.
• Either set the "oracle.sysman.prov.agentpush.enablePty" property to
true in property-file on OMS
• or
• Disable the "requiretty" flag in the sudoers file.
• Or ignore the warning and run root.sh manually (OPC)

Oracle Cloud
 Deploying agent - 2

Oracle Cloud
 Deploying agent - 3

Oracle cloud
 Hybrid Cloud !

35
Target discovery
Promotion is the only chance for naming !!

Oracle Cloud
 Create tablespace

Oracle Cloud
 Create tablespace
- Encrypted
- Default

Oracle Cloud
 encryption rule
Quote documentation:
“In Oracle Database Cloud - Database as a Service databases, user-
created tablespaces are encrypted by default. “
“All new tablespaces you create in a Database as a
Service database are encrypted by default”. However, the
tablespaces that were created when you created the database
deployment are not encrypted.

Cloning databases to on
premises / private database !

Hybrid mgmt Oracle Cloud:
unsupported -1
• Hybrid Cloud Agent is supported only on Oracle Linux x86-64
operating system.
• Cloning of on-premise Weblogic-domains to Oracle Cloud
• Database: Active Data Guard support for Database Cloud Service
instances, management of standby databases on Oracle Cloud

42
Hybrid mgmt Oracle Cloud:
unsupported -2
• Database Provisioning - except pluggable database (PDB) operations
(create, plug, unplug, drop)
• Database Cloning between hosts on Oracle Cloud
• Manual deployment of Enterprise Manager Agent

Azure: Pushing hybrid cloud agent
/bin/hostname -d
Azure: NLAMISJOB2.j7.internal.cloudapp.net
Oracle cloud: trialpaas2.compute-nlamisholdjob.oraclecloud.internal

- UNSUPPORTED -
• /u01/app/oracle/product/oms/sysman/prov/agentpush/
agentpush.properties:
oracle.sysman.prov.agentpush.jschValidations= [OPCHostNameCheck:false]
 Not enough.
Local deployment:
/u01/app/oracle/product/agent/ADATMP_2016-05-26_15-43-42-
PM/agentDeploy.sh AGENT_BASE_DIR=/u01/app/oracle/product/agent -
softwareOnly -force -ignorePrereqs AGENT_MODE=PAAS

Unsupported: pushing agent on
Azure
• Result ‘normal’ or hybrid cloud agent on Virtual Image Azure:
But: with some hacking you can push an agent on Azure!

Amazon AWS RDS
• RDS has no SSH – access !!

AWS Plugin for OEM13c
“ Have questions about this plugin? Oracle does not support this Plug-in, but
community support is provided via the Oracle Enterprise Manager OTN Forum “
• Monitor EBS, EC2 and RDS instances on Amazon Web Services
• Gather performance metrics and configuration details for AWS instances
• Raise alerts and violations based on thresholds set on monitoring
• Generate reports based on the gathered data

GUI didn’t work - EMCLI
Add Amazon RDS target:
 emcli add_target -name="" -
type="AmazonRDSService" ………..
 emcli set_monitoring_credential -
set_name="AWSKeyCredentialSet" …………………
 emcli set_monitoring_credential -
set_name="SSLTrustStoreCredentialSet" ………………..

Conclusion
• Hybrid Cloud Management only on Oracle Cloud - for now
– Easy to deploy Hybrid Cloud Agents
– DBaaS and JCS Cloud monitoring and management acts as on-premises
– Be aware of licenses versus metered/unmetered
– Configuration management including Search and Inventory, comparison
between on-premise and cloud instances, configuration history, and compliance
– Cloning between on-premise / private cloud and Oracle Cloud
• No focus yet on Amazon and Azure.
• A Happy Marriage with one partner only.
