In Part 1 of this series, we used a floating virtual IP (VIP) to achieve hands-off high availability (HA) of WebLogic Admin Server. In Part 2, we’ll achieve an arguably superior solution using Domain Name System (DNS) resolution. Using a DNS to resolve the address for WebLogic admin server Let’s look at the reference WebLogic […]

A common challenge organizations face is how to gain confidence in and provide evidence for the continuous resilience of their workloads. Using modern chaos engineering principles can help in meeting this challenge, but the practice of chaos engineering can become complex. As a result, both the definition of the inputs and comprehension of the outputs […]

Oracle WebLogic Server is used by enterprises to power production workloads, including Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) and Oracle Fusion Middleware applications. Customer applications are deployed to WebLogic Server instances (managed servers) and managed using an administration server (admin server) within a logical organization unit, called a domain. Clusters of managed servers provide application availability and horizontal […]

An increasing number of software as a service (SaaS) providers are modernizing their architectures to utilize resources more efficiently and reduce operational costs. There are multiple strategies that can be used when refining your multi-tenant architecture. This blog will look at a specific scenario where SaaS providers move from an account-per-tenant to an Amazon Elastic […]

These days, large organizations typically have microservices environments that span across cloud platforms, on-premises data centers, and colocation facilities. The reasons for this vary but frequently include latency, local support structures, and historic architectural decisions. However, due to the complex nature of these environments, efficient mechanisms for service discovery and configuration management must be implemented […]

High availability is non-negotiable for organizations today to prevent business-critical application disruptions. Enterprises must prioritize database scalability and availability to avoid downtime in their databases, network, servers, or storage environments. For organizations that want to avoid required application changes, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is an option for providing high availability and scalability to the […]

Customers choose AWS for running their Oracle database workload to help increase resiliency, performance, and scalability of the database layer. A high availability (HA) solution for the database stack is an important aspect to consider when migrating or deploying Oracle databases in AWS to help ensure that the architecture can meet the service level agreement […]

Launching and running genomics workflows can take hours and involves large pools of compute instances that process data at a petabyte scale. Benchmarking helps you evaluate workflow performance and discover faster and cheaper ways of running them. In practice, performance evaluations happen irregularly because of the associated heavy lifting. In this blog post, we discuss […]

Customers are adopting microservices architecture to build innovative and scalable applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). These microservices applications are deployed across multiple AWS services, and customers are looking for comprehensive observability solutions that can help them effectively monitor and manage the performance of their applications in real-time. IBM Instana is a fully automated application […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers using AWS Wickr who want to find a way to access their AWS Wickr Windows desktop client though a web browser, can use Amazon AppStream 2.0 to stream the application through to their users. Using this architecture, you can provide lightweight access to the AWS Wickr desktop client for users […]
