Use this comprehensive guide to get started with the Oracle Cloud Free
Tier. Reading this book and creating your own application in the Free
Tier is an excellent way to build familiarity with, and expertise in,
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Even better is that the Free Tier by itself
is capable enough and provides all the ingredients needed for you to
create secure and robust, multi-tiered web applications of modest
size.
Examples in this book introduce the broad suite of Always Free options
that are available from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You will learn how
to provision autonomous databases and autonomous Linux compute nodes.
And you will see how to use Terraform to manage infrastructure as code.
You also will learn about the virtual cloud network and application
deployment, including how to create and deploy public-facing Oracle
Application Express solutions and three-tier web applications on a
foundation of Oracle REST Data Services. The book also includes a brief
introduction to using and managing access to Oracle Machine Learning
Notebooks.
Cloud computing is a strong industry trend. Mastering the content in
this book leaves you well-positioned to make the transition into
providing and supporting cloud-based applications and databases. You
will have the knowledge and skills that you need to deploy modest
applications along with a growing understanding of Oracle's Cloud
platform that will serve you well as you go beyond the limits of the
Always Free options and take full advantage of all that Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure can offer.
