Oracle Autonomous Database: Securing with Access Control Lists (ACL)
Access Control Lists (ACLs) enhance the security of Oracle Autonomous Database by restricting access to specific IP addresses or CIDR blocks. Users can configure ACLs during provisioning or update existing instances. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for both creating a new database and modifying an existing one to optimize security.
OCI Integration Fundamentals: Versioning
The post discusses the significance of versioning for robust integration lifecycle management, particularly within Oracle Integration Cloud and OCI integration. It highlights semantic versioning, a method of version control for software development that operates on a Major.Minor.Patch model. The post shows through various examples that only one integration can be activated at a time for minor or patch version changes, while multiple integrations can be activated simultaneously for major version changes.
