Skill UI

This skill provides a comprehensive solution for deploying containerized applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It supports two primary deployment paths: OKE (Oracle Kubernetes Engine) for full Kubernetes orchestration, and Container Instances for a simpler, serverless alternative. Use this skill for automating the entire lifecycle, including pushing images to OCIR, provisioning OKE clusters via Python SDK, and executing Kubernetes deployments using kubectl.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and code examples for designing robust and scalable Identity and Access Management (IAM) structures within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It covers establishing secure compartment hierarchies, understanding complex policy inheritance rules, implementing least-privilege access controls, and utilizing dynamic groups for service authentication, ensuring best practices for enterprise cloud governance.

A comprehensive guide to launching, listing, and managing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute instances using Python. This guide specifically addresses the common 'Out of host capacity' error when using Always Free ARM shapes, implementing a robust retry loop to ensure successful deployment. Users can learn the full lifecycle management, from initial connection setup to instance state polling.

This comprehensive runbook provides a self-service solution for managing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) outages when official status pages are misleading or silent. It guides users through independent service health probes (Identity, Compute, Networking), automated instance recovery actions (reboot, softreset), and critical procedures for cross-Availability Domain (AD) or cross-region failover using boot volume backups to ensure business continuity.

This guide provides comprehensive, step-by-step instructions to install and configure the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) SDK and Command Line Interface (CLI). It details the secure process of generating RSA key pairs, setting up the mandatory local configuration file, and verifying API connectivity. Use this when integrating OCI services into applications, setting up new cloud environments, or troubleshooting authentication errors.

This guide establishes an optimized local development loop for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It teaches users how to bypass the slow web console by setting up dedicated CLI profiles (dev, staging, prod), managing environment variables, and creating robust shell aliases. This allows developers to perform complex operations—such as listing resources, launching instances, and managing storage—directly from the terminal, ensuring speed and consistency across all environments.

This skill addresses the challenge of managing Dev/Staging/Prod separation in OCI without native account separation. It uses Python to centralize configuration profiles, compartment IDs, and implements safety guardrails (like blocking destructive actions in production) to prevent accidental cross-environment deployments, ensuring repeatable and secure cloud workflows.

This skill allows users to programmatically set up a comprehensive observability stack for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources. It guides the creation of metric queries, alarm rules, custom metric publishing, and detailed log searches using the Python SDK. By automating monitoring and alerting, users gain full control over their infrastructure visibility, eliminating reliance on the OCI Console UI for critical operational checks.

Programmatically query Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) metrics using the Monitoring Query Language (MQL) and create monitoring alarms via the Python SDK. This skill bypasses the limitations of the OCI console query builder, allowing reliable retrieval of key infrastructure metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, network traffic, and disk I/O. Ideal for building robust dashboards, automating resource monitoring, and setting up complex alerting rules.

This skill provides comprehensive techniques for building highly resilient clients when interacting with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) APIs. It addresses the common 429 TooManyRequests throttling errors by implementing custom exponential backoff with jitter, utilizing the SDK's advanced retry configuration, and integrating circuit breaker patterns for large-scale, high-volume operations. Use this guide when automating bulk OCI tasks to ensure reliable data retrieval and prevent API failure due to rate limits.

Provides a comprehensive, production-ready standard 3-tier reference architecture for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The design covers essential components like VCN, public/private subnets, Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway, Service Gateway, and Autonomous Database. It includes deployment steps using Terraform and OCI SDK Python code, making it ideal for designing new cloud environments or migrating existing patterns from other major cloud providers.

This comprehensive guide details the end-to-end process of migrating data and connecting to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Autonomous Database (ADB). It walks through provisioning the ADB using the Python SDK, securely downloading the necessary mTLS wallet, establishing a connection using `python-oracledb`, and executing compatibility-aware data migration via Data Pump.
