This lab will walk you through how to utilize disaster recovery best practices on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Estimated lab time: 3 hours
- Enable application & database DR across regions on OCI
- Automate block volume backups to new region
- Setup DNS on OCI
- Simulate disaster and subsequent recovery
- Use attached Terraform scripts to provision the environment
- Complete standby region load balancer setup in OCI console
- Configure DNS for primary region
- Configure DNS failover to DR region in traffic management
- Manually run attached Python scripts to take backups and move the backups from primary to DR region
- Ability to run as cron job for production
- Restore a backup from the Primary region to compute in the DR region
- See how terraform will configure your backup automation, rsync, and Active Data Guard
- Database DR is setup with data guard in the terraform scripts, but the subsequent lab will show the manual configuration of dataguard
- Drain connections in Primary load balancer
- Perform DNS failover to DR region
- Scale up compute node in DR region
