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.

How to Use Your Own Encryption Key for Data Encryption in Oracle Cloud
In this post, I will focus on securing object storage data with your own encryption key, but note that this content is still very relevant for other OCI services such as block, object or file services or Oracle's platform solutions such as databases, analytics, etc. By default, OCI/Oracle automatically manages the keys that are used to encrypt and secure your data on the OCI platform.. this makes things a little simpler - you know your data is secure, so you don't need to worry about it. However, there may be requirements to use customer-managed encryption keys. We will explore how in the post.
Accessing an Object Storage Bucket in Oracle Cloud using Pre-Authenticated Requests
In my previous post, Creating an Object Storage Bucket in Oracle Cloud, I introduced Object Storage in Oracle Cloud and I outlined how you can very easily create an object storage bucket. In Oracle Cloud, object storage is used to store and manage data as objects, providing a reliable, secure and scalable service. OCI Object storage uses “buckets” as a method of organizing the objects (or files). Ultimately, you can think of a bucket as a container that stores –ideally related– objects within an Oracle Cloud compartment within a namespace. A bucket can only be associated to a single compartment and it’s possible to set policies against the compartment & bucket which define the actions/permissions that a user or group have to manipulate the bucket and the objects in the bucket. There are many use cases in which you might want or need to access an Oracle object storage bucket, in this post, I will explain how you can access objects within your bucket using a pre-authenticated request. Look out for a future post on accessing object storage buckets with granted user permissions.
