Serverless Functions are usually associated with programming languages like JavaScript, Python, Go or even plain old Java. But sometimes there is this one procedure, this one application that you need to run once or twice a week for recalculating those old contracts that would be a perfect fit for a cloud native, serverless implementation. But it was written in some Read more…
This post describes how to use cloud events and serverless in Oracle Cloud functions to keeping the records of a private DNS Zone up to date.
Oracle recently added a new logging service to their offering. This logging service supports both custom and service logs. The former is your classic “agent-sends-log-to-logserver” type of log service. The latter will finally give access to logs coming from services such as Load Balancers, API Gateways, Events or Functions. While i really have missed this for most of the services, Read more…
Interestingly, one of my posts on this blog getting most attention is covering the use of dnsmasq for using hybrid DNS on OCI. Since there is quite a lot of interesting things around DNS on OCI, i decided to prepare another post, giving some overview and then show approaches for using private and hybrid DNS. Update: Finally there is a proper Read more…
Just this week I published a Terraform module for setting up an OCI-Azure interconnect. This basically is the code I already provided earlier and described in a few of my older posts. What you will get The module will create a few resources on Azure and OCI to set up the interconnect. These resources are highlighted in blue in the Read more…
Oracle Functions suffer from one of the minor issues of having a container based platform that will spin down the container after some time of running idle. The next time the function is called, the container will be spun up again, taking some seconds time to do so. This is absolutely fine if you do not rely on the function Read more…
This is the second part of my series covering aspects of Oracle Functions. To get an understanding of the environment we are working in, i recommend reading part 1 first if you haven’t done so already. In this post i will cover a simple serverless function written in Go that generates thumbnails from images uploaded to an object storage bucket. Read more…
Sometimes you just want to get a simple, static website up and running without much hassle. Be it the microsite to tell about your latest achievements or some error page explaining why your whole production site went down. So it’s about firing up your favourite editor, write some html and upload it to a web host. If you do not Read more…
I’ve been pretty busy lately, doing certifications for OCI and Azure and having to deal with daily business, so there was no post on this blog for quite some time. As you might have guessed, i had as well spent some time digging into the Oracle serverless offering which is based on open source project fnproject.io. So i think i Read more…
When playing around with Oracle Functions and fnproject i pretty soon encountered some build problems for my function written in Go. It simply didn’t play well with some newer Go modules i was using. To understand what was happening here, you need to understand how serverless functions in fnproject are built and deployed. Basically you get docker images used for Read more…
