Our Verdict
This course skillfully covers the basics of OCI and its architecture while providing a step-by-step overview of database deployments on this platform. The primary target audience - DBAs in this case - may find it particularly useful for expanding their knowledge and skills, even though a broader approach would benefit those with alternative job roles as well. Though audio volume inconsistencies might pose minor distractions, the clear explanations, updated content, and hands-on demos ensure learners have a solid foundation in this increasingly relevant domain. Consider taking full advantage of the available updates, as they reflect new offerings presented at Oracle OpenWorld 2019. While there is always room for improvement regarding slide quality and consistent terminology, the expert instruction, combined with accessible content, makes "Foundation to Oracle Database in OCI" a strong choice for aspiring professionals navigating their way through cloud computing and more specifically, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
What We Liked
- Excellent coverage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) basics, architecture, database deployments, and connectivity scenarios.
- Instructor's clear explanations make complex concepts accessible to learners with varying levels of expertise in cloud computing.
- Hands-on demos provide practical experience and reinforce theoretical knowledge for creating Oracle Cloud machines, connecting via SSH, and deploying databases.
- Comprehensive overview of Oracle Cloud's IaaS/PaaS/SaaS offerings, types of cloud deployments, top cloud vendors, and Autonomous Databases.
- Valuable updates reflecting the latest features from Oracle OpenWorld 2019.
Potential Drawbacks
- There have been reported issues with inconsistent audio levels, ranging from low volume to sudden loudness, resulting in the need for frequent volume adjustments while viewing.
- The course content is primarily focused on DBAs, and a broader range of topics tailored to different job roles could make it more appealing.
- Some minor visual issues include dark slides and occasional variations in video brightness.
- A few terminologies are left unexplained, which can make understanding some parts challenging for beginners without prior cloud computing knowledge.
- Though there is emphasis on hands-on learning through demos, more practical examples (such as migration from Oracle servers to Oracle cloud) can further improve the learning experience.
