Provision Oracle Databases With Ansible and Enterprise Manager 13c

In this post I want to show you how Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c using the Cloud Management pack, can be easily integrated with DevOps automation and orchestration tools like Ansible in order to provision Oracle Databases.

These can be either single instance, multi-tenant container databases, pluggable databases, schemas or databases running on high availability clusters and Dataguard configurations. EM 13c implements pre-checks, best practices and processes to provision all these configurations in a secure, automated and controlled fashion.

We have created an step by step laboratory in the Oracle LiveLabs framework. This lab contains a demo environment and a workbook that guide through all the steps. This lab shows you how to provision a PDB using Ansible and Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c. It also shows you how to shutdown, start, resize and check the status of the PDB using Ansible.

With this kind of integration, enterprises can close the loop in terms of DevOps or CI/CD pipeline provisioning. They can provision the Virtual Machines, Application and Oracle Databases automatically.

Follow the link below for the Oracle LiveLabs demo.
