Cloud computing has transformed the way that we write and deploy enterprise software. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c has been designed to work with the cloud platform and reduce downtime, while improving performance and productivity. You can quickly set up, manage, and support enterprise clouds.
This practical, example-oriented guide untangles many of the complexities involved in setting up a complete cloud computing platform. This book explores several methods of setting up IaaS and DBaaS using Oracle's Enterprise Manager. Step-by-step, this guide will quickly familiarize you with the most important aspects of setting up a cloud platform.
This book delves deep into the complexities surrounding cloud computing and comprehensively explores the approach that you need to take to build an effective infrastructure. You will start with a step-by-step approach to building an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and take an in-depth view of building a Database as a Service (DBaaS) model of cloud computing. Following on from this, you will learn how the chargeback mechanism works and how it can be configured for your needs. Next, you will also learn how to use a programmable interface to manage your cloud via APIs and web services.
This guide will walk you through the various components of Oracle Enterprise Manager and will teach you how to use them efficiently. This book will also explain how you can use cloud APIs to program your cloud.

Preface
Cloud computing has become a ubiquitous buzzword in the software industry. While almost everyone was trying to define what cloud computing actually meant, few people realized that cloud computing is in fact an old idea. The term ''cloud computing'' is an attempt to group a lot of standard technologies under one umbrella and combine all of these little pieces into a unified shared infrastructure. Cloud computing essentially solves the problem of scale—a problem which otherwise seemed too daunting.
As we move towards massively scaled interconnected software systems, chances are that you will develop and deploy the software for the cloud. Cloud computing sounds like the solution to all the problems related to scalability and fault-tolerant software, but in reality, getting cloud infrastructure right is a very difficult task.
Luckily, over the years, technology that supports cloud computing has stabilized and standardized a lot. Many interesting solutions have been proposed and some wonderful tools have been field-tested in the industry. The most important innovation that really changed the way people used shared infrastructure has been Amazon's Elastic Cloud platform. EC2 demonstrated that cloud could serve massively scalable software systems with superb fault tolerance and performance guarantees.
Enterprise software vendors realized that they will have to embrace the cloud model to offer extremely cost-effective and easy-to-manage software delivery. This realization drove major software companies such as Oracle, VMware, Microsoft, and others to focus on making their enterprise software cloud ready.
Oracle Enterprise Manager offers a great environment for building cloud computing platforms for your enterprise. Oracle Enterprise Manager combines various technologies such as Oracle Database, clustering, virtualization, and network to offer a single solution. As we will see in this book, creating a self-service model of cloud provisioning is extremely streamlined with Oracle Enterprise Manager. Oracle Enterprise Manager supports most complex chargeback models and offers great flexibility in designing your own system of chargeback. We will take a detailed look at the various capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager and how we can effectively utilize them.
What this book covers
Chapter 1, Setting Up Enterprise Manager, covers important bits of information to correctly set up Enterprise Manager.
Chapter 2, Infrastructure as a Service, illustrates all the steps necessary to set up an IaaS using Enterprise Manager.
Chapter 3, Database as a Service, covers several DBaaS topologies and techniques in detail.
Chapter 4, Enterprise Monitoring, walks through the chargeback models offered by Enterprise Manager and how to optimize them.
Chapter 5, Cloud APIs, gives an overview of the usage of the programmable interface of Enterprise Manager using the various cloud REST APIs and CLIs.
What you need for this book
Depending on what you want to achieve, you will need a different set of software and hardware. The installation of Oracle Enterprise Manager comes bundled with most of the necessary software, but you should make sure you read the official documentation accompanying your installation media. You must have a working Java installation on the operating system you are planning to use to install Enterprise Manager.
Who this book is for
