SEATTLE, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- KubeCon –
Oracle today announced the Oracle Cloud Native Framework, providing
developers a cloud native solution that spans public cloud, on
premises and hybrid cloud deployments. Capitalizing on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure and the recently announced Oracle Linux Cloud Native
Environment, the Oracle Cloud Native Framework introduces a rich
set of cloud native managed services and on-premises software. The
Oracle Cloud Native Framework also introduces Oracle Functions, a
new breakthrough serverless cloud service based on the open source
Fn Project.
As organizations move to the cloud, they are facing new and
difficult challenges addressing cultural change and increased
complexity. DevOps and cloud native tooling have left many
developers and projects behind the curve. Moreover, organizations
eager to use standard open source components and leverage cloud
capabilities, but are impeded by the number of complex choices,
lack of training and fear of cloud vendor lock-in. By providing
cloud native capabilities and offerings regardless of the
deployment scenario and leveraging open standards established by
the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Oracle, a platinum
member of CNCF, is uniquely providing its customers with choice
while meeting the broad deployment needs of developers.
"With the growing popularity of the CNCF as a unifying
and organizing force in the cloud native ecosystem and
organizations increasingly embracing multi cloud and hybrid cloud
models, developers should have the flexibility to build and deploy
their applications anywhere they choose without the threat of cloud
vendor lock-in. Oracle is making this a reality," said Don Johnson, executive vice president, product
development, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
To further enable developers to build and deploy modern
applications, Oracle is introducing a rich set of first class
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services built on Oracle's Gen 2 Cloud
IaaS and existing foundational Kubernetes orchestration and
management layer, the Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).
These new offerings are focused on three critical Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure cloud native layers:
- Application Definition & Development
-
- Oracle Functions: Scalable, multi-tenant serverless
functions that let users focus on writing code to meet business
needs without having to know about any infrastructure concepts.
Users only pay when a function is invoked, but pay nothing when the
code is not running.
- Streaming: A highly available, scalable and multi-tenant
streaming platform that 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.
- Provisioning
-
- Resource Manager: A managed service that can provision
all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources and services. Resource
Manager reduces configuration errors and increases productivity by
managing infrastructure declaratively (i.e. "infrastructure as
code") using industry standard Terraform.
- Observability & Analysis
-
- Monitoring: An integrated service that reports metrics
from all resources and services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Use
predefined metrics and dashboards, or use the service API to obtain
a wholistic 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.
- Notification Service: A scalable service that broadcasts
messages to distributed components, such as email and PagerDuty.
With Oracle Notification Service (ONS), users can easily deliver
messages about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to large numbers of
subscribers through a publish-subscribe pattern.
- Events: An offering that 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 Functions to
take actions, Notifications to inform users, or Streaming to update
external services.
With the announcement of Oracle Functions, a new breakthrough
serverless solution based on the open source Fn Project, developers
can easily deploy and execute function-based applications without
the need to manage compute infrastructure. Oracle Functions is
Docker container-based and completely pay-per-use, so charges are
incurred only when functions are run. The underlying Fn Project,
which Oracle Functions offers as a fully-managed service, can run
on-premises, in a data center, or on any cloud. The Oracle Cloud
Native Framework supports both modern (cloud native) and
traditional (WebLogic, Java, and database) applications. The
enterprise grade platform can be leveraged for sustainable
strategy, managed services, and curated OSS.
Customer Quotes
"Kubernetes and containers are
enabling CERN to improve the deployment of critical Java
Applications to reduce maintenance tasks and focus more on
developers' needs, including improving their experience with Oracle
WebLogic Server. In this context, Oracle has provided us with an
open source tool that has helped us decrease considerably the time
needed to configure WebLogic. We are also working to take advantage
of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and its Kubernetes offering to
replace our disaster recovery solution for our databases and
WebLogic," said Antonio Nappi,
DevOps Engineer for CERN.
"Our business relies on delivering innovative
software solutions to a global market. Oracle
Container Engine for Kubernetes on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
has helped us not only converge data centers and add
scale, but also significantly improve performance and security
as we adopt a microservices architecture. It's actually been
the simplest part of our migration," said Jason Looney, vice president of
Enterprise Architecture, Beeline.
"Sauce is a video collaboration and creation platform for
teams, empowering brands to create authentic video content.
Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure has helped us scale our cloud technology,
supporting our global growth while increasing reliability and
performance, especially in the areas of video transcoding and
creation. Getting started on Oracle Container Engine for
Kubernetes was a breeze and now our team can develop and
deploy faster than ever," said Jon
Girven, co-founder and CTO
of Sauce Video.
"Gapsquare is a cloud-based SaaS solution that helps large
companies maintain continuous fair pay by closing the gender pay
gap, ethnicity pay gap, and any equal pay issues. By moving to the
Oracle Cloud completely, we have been able to reduce time spent on
DevOps and focus on implementing new features. We found Oracle
Container Engine for Kubernetes to be the easiest way to reliably
deploy our application on a scalable and distributed environment,
while continuing to deliver new automatic features that require no
maintenance. This has allowed us to speed time to market for new
offerings and rapidly expand globally," said Zara Nanu, CEO of Gapsquare, and a member
of Oracle's global startup program.
