“Cloud native” technologies leverage the cloud to build and operate applications. These technologies are characterized by the use of containers, microservices, serverless functions, development pipelines, and infrastructure expressed as code. Cloud native enables faster software development and the ability to build applications that are resilient, manageable, observable and dynamically scalable to global enterprise levels.
Oracle is a Platinum member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which oversees several projects. The CNCF states that “cloud native technologies enable software developers to build great products faster.“ Consider the following examples:
Cloud native technologies require developers, DevOps professionals, and software architects to adopt a new set of frameworks, which can present challenges.
Oracle offers a set of services that can increase productivity, lower risk, and accelerate innovation across public, private, and hybrid clouds.
General Availability
This developer-friendly and enterprise-ready managed service runs highly available Kubernetes clusters with the control, security, and performance of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, while keeping pace and compatibility with the CNCF ecosystem.
General Availability
A highly available container registry service that enables users to store and share their container images with ease. Registry allows users to push and pull images with the Docker CLI or pull images directly into their Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes deployments.
Limited Availability
Scalable, multitenant serverless functions let users focus on writing code to meet business needs without having to know about any infrastructure concepts. Users only need to pay for the compute time used and pay nothing when the code is not running.
Limited Availability
This highly available, scalable, and multitenant streaming platform makes it easy to collect and manage streaming data. Streaming enables applications such as IoT, security, and supply chain, where large amounts of data are collected from many sources and need to be processed in real-time.
Limited Availability
This managed service can provision all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources and services. Resource Manager reduces configuration errors and increases productivity by managing infrastructure declaratively (that is, infrastructure as code) using industry standard Terraform.
Limited Availability
This integrated service reports metrics from all resources and services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Use predefined metrics and dashboards or use the service API to obtain a holistic view of the health, performance, and capacity of the system. The monitoring service includes alarms to track these metrics and take action when they vary or exceed defined thresholds. Alarms provide a critical service to help users meet service-level objectives and avoid interruptions.
Limited Availability
This scalable service broadcasts messages to distributed components such as email and PagerDuty. With Notifications, users can easily deliver messages about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to large numbers of subscribers through a publish-subscribe pattern.
Coming Soon
This offering enables users to react to changes in the state of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources, both when initiated by the system or by user action. Events can store information to object storage, or they can trigger Oracle functions to take actions, Notifications to inform users, or Streaming to update external services.
