Oracle Cloud Models and
Solutions
Oracle Cloud Solutions
Enterprise IT benefits from private Cloud
• Consolidate applications/database on a shared infrastructure
• Providing on-demand access to infrastructure resources.
• Increasing quality of Service: performance, HA, security, etc.
• Providing rapid deployment and service provisioning.
Oracle Cloud Service Models
• Infrastructure as a Service: provide infrastructure
• Platform a Service (PaaS): provide platform
• Users can request service through self service portal
• Cloud Service is automatically deployed.
• Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control provide life cycle of cloud management: plan, setup, build, test, deploy, monitor, manager, meter & charge
Oracle Cloud Solutions
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Service Model:
• Users request infrastructure servers and will be provided guest virtual machines)
• Users to request services in self-service manner (Self Service Portal)
• Users specify the VM assembly or template for VM deployment.
• Guest VMs are created through the template and assembly through EM12c Self Service portal
Platform as a Service (IaaS) Service Model:
• Allow users to request platforms on which they can run applications
• Database as a Service (DBaaS)
VM based
RAC based shared by multiple databases
Pluggable Database
Shared Database with multiple schema
• Test as a Service(TaasS)

Cloud Anatomy:
Infrastructure Cloud (IaaS)
Architecture
Deploying Cloud Service based on Oracle VM
Traditional Application Deployment process
• Multiple Steps including Hardware, OS, Prerequisites, Application installation/configuration
• Highly skilled manual work, time consuming and error prone
• Duplicated efforts and very hard to automate
• Hardly adapted for a cloud environment where an automatic provisioning process is needed
Oracle VM: Application-Driven Virtualization
• Applications running on virtual machines
• VM template: pre-built, pre-configured virtual machine with OS +software stack
• Oracle published VM templates for most Oracle products for download
• You can create your own Oracle VM templates for your application
• Easy to deploy through VM Manager and Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.
Deploying Cloud Service based on Oracle VM
Oracle Virtual Assembly
• Appliance: a single software component and its local execution : environment, for example, database +OS
• Assembly: a collection of interrelated software appliances that are automatically configured to work together, for example, multiple tier applications: Weblogic server + Database.
Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder Studio creates assemblies
• The tool to capture the software configurations and package to software appliances and connect them to form assemblies.
Infrastructure Cloud and Oracle EM12c
Oracle Infrastructure Cloud as Service with Oracle EM12c
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud Deployment Model:
Users request IaaS services, pre-packed assemblies are used to deploy guest Virtual Machines with OS + database software or middleware
• Enterprise Manager 12c is used to model Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Pre-created virtual assemblies and templates created with OVAB and
stored in software Library
Users request IaaS services through EM12c Self Service portal
Iaas Service is automatically deployed with the virtual assemblies and templates

IaaS Cloud Configuration and its Architecture
• Cloud Administrator configures the cloud infrastructure
• Manages cloud infrastructure through VM manager
• Software library and self service portal provide the self service cloud service provisioning using VM templates and VM assemblies.

• Establish infrastructure cloud solution to achieve IaaS based on the Self Service requests.
Project Task Overview
• IaaS Cloud Architecture Design
• Cloud Infrastructure Deployment and Configuration
• Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder to create assemblies
• Test Virtual Assemblies in Oracle VM environment
• Setup Self Service Applications in Infrastructure Cloud
Cloud Technology Stack
Cloud Hardware Environment :
3 physical severs for VM servers:
1 physical sever for VM Manager
1 physical server for Enterprise Manager
An Example of Infrastructure Cloud Configuration
Fiber Channel Storage for Cloud storage:
Cloud Virtualization and Management Software
Stack
Virtual Server: Oracle VM Server 3.3 for x86
Virtual Environment Manager: Oracle VM Manager 3.3
Cloud Management: Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c
Cloud Architecture Design and Configuration
Enterprise Manager 12c for Cloud management
• Em12c: Enterprise Menu Cloud
Setting up the cloud Infrastructure
• Register Oracle VM Manager/Synchronizing the VM manager targets
• Discover Oracle VM Server
• Setup storage Infrastructure
• Configure network
• Create a virtual server pool and create zone
An Example of Infrastructure Cloud Configuration
Deploy the Virtualization and cloud plug-in in EM12c
An Example of Infrastructure Cloud Configuration
Register VM Manager on Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.
• Configure Secure TCP(TCPS) on VM Manager host (#1490283.1)
• Use tcps and
port 54322 port for VM Manager 3.1.1 or greater
• Use tcps and
port 54322 port - Import the OVM Manager certificate
• Oracle VM Manager
Connection URLs: Oracle VM Manager URL
Oracle VM Manager Console URL
•EM12.1.0.5: slight different GUI:
