Serverless architecture on the Oracle PaaS Cloud by Lucas Jellema

One of the interesting tidbits, somewhat hidden away in Thomas Kurian’s keynote presentation last week at Oracle OpenWorld 2016, is a new member of the Oracle PaaS Cloud Services family called Oracle Functions (or at least that seems to be the working title). Oracle Functions are serverless applications that are run on the Oracle PaaS infrastructure when one of its triggering events has been published.

The next screenshot shows a function as part of a stack. A stack by the way is a collection of components that are managed together – stop, start, scale, patch etc. – somewhat similar to AWS Formations.

A Function is executed when one of its triggers occurs. Here we see a drop down list of the [sources for]trigger types currently supported. Among these are: the new Kafka Event Bus, the API Platform, the Database (DBaaS), the MySQL CS, Cache, WebHooks, events from Management Cloud (APM, Log Analytics) and messages on the Messaging Cloud. More trigger types are expected to be added over time. Read the complete article here.

Publishing applications to Application Container Cloud Service from Oracle Storage Cloud by Lucas Jellema

This weekend, while preparing for a demo during Oracle OpenWorld 2016, I found a for me new way of publishing a new [version of an]application to Application Container Cloud: through Storage Cloud. The application archive – zip or tar – can be stored on Storage Cloud and the deployment to ACCS can be performed from Storage Cloud. I am not yet sure if this makes for a better automated workflow. What it does give me for now is an automatic backup of the application archive – it lives on Storage Cloud after having been deployed.

The steps I go through (using CloudBerry as file explorer on top of Storage Cloud – see this article for details):

1. Copy Application Archive to Storage Cloud:

2. Use the Cloud storage path option in the upload dialog, as shown in the figure: Read the complete article here.

Application Container Cloud: Node.js hosting with enterprise-grade features by Maarten Smeets

Oracle’s Application Container Cloud allows you to run Java SE, Node.js and PHP applications (and more is coming) in a Docker container hosted in the Oracle Public Cloud (OPC). Node.js can crash when applications do strange things. You can think of incorrect error handling, blocking calls or strange memory usage. In order to host Node.js in a manageable, stable and robust way in an enterprise application landscape, certain measures need to be taken. Application Container Cloud provides many of those measures and makes hosting Node.js applications easy. In this blog article I’ll describe why you would want to use Oracle Application Container Cloud. I’ll illustrate this with examples of my experience with the product.

Forking (not a real cluster)

Node.js without specifically coded forking / clustering, runs in a single OS thread.This single thread uses a single CPU. You can fork processes/workers to use multiple CPU’s. Node.js provides (among other things) the core module cluster to do this. It depends on IPC between master and workers (which can be cumbersome to manually code). Also there is no easy way to graceful shutdown workers and restart them without downtime. StrongLoop (IBM) has developed modules such as strong-cluster-control and strong-store-cluster to make this more easy. If the master process fails however, you still have a problem.

Multiple Node.js instances (a real cluster)

If you want to provide true clustering over Node.js instances and not just for forks / child processes you need additional tooling; process managers. On the express site is a short list of the most popular ones. StrongLoop Process Manager, PM2 and Forever. For example StrongLoop Process Manager encapsulates features such as nginx load balancing, supervision as well as devops functions of build, deploy, monitor and scale on remote servers and Docker containers. I have not tried this though but can imagine this requires some setting up.

Application Container Cloud

Oracle Application Container Cloud provides out of the box with very little configuration, a set of clustering and stability features to allow Node.js to run in an enterprise landscape. If you want to get up and running quickly without thinking about many of these things, you should definitely look at Application Container Cloud. Read the complete article here.

Java Cloud Service

  • Auto-scaling can now be configured in JCS to automatically scale a cluster in or out, based on CPU utilization, as explained in About Automatic Scaling in Using Oracle Java Cloud Service.
  • JCS can generate SSH keys and storage containers during service provisioning, so these prerequisites were removed from all Getting Started collateral (video, tutorial, etc).
  • When using AppToCloud to migrate an existing WebLogic Server domain, JMS and Java Mail resources are automatically captured from the source domain and imported into your Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. See Creating an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance with AppToCloud in Using Oracle Java Cloud Service.
  • There are now two ways to access Chat for support. You can either use the Chat icon that appears at the top of the Oracle Cloud console to the left of the Preferences dropdown or you can click the Help icon (?) and, from the Help Drawer, select Chat with us.

Application Container Cloud, Oracle JET, and NetBeans IDE (Part 2) by Geertja

Posted: October 16, 2016 in Cloud, JDeveloper & ADF, WebLogic

In part 1, yesterday, we deployed a Node.js application, with static resources architected on Orace JET, to the Application Container Cloud Service (ACCS). However, ACCS is also applicable to Java SE applications.

There are several use cases for running Java SE applications on ACCS:

http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/apaas_gs/apaas_tutorials_create_sample_java_se_applications.htm

I followed this scenario:

http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/cloud/apaas/griz-jersey-intro/Grizzly-Jersey-Intro.html

However, I wanted to serve up JSON, rather than Strings, so I rewrote "getAllCustomers" in "CustomerService" to the following:

@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/all")
public GenericEntity<list> getAllCustomers() {
    List list = CustomerList.getInstance();
    return new GenericEntity<list>(list) {};
}</list</list

More info in this example for JSON-related scenarios: Read the complete article here.
