Infrastructure Configuration
• Compute and Domain configuration (e.g. Cluster)
• VCN, Load Balancer Admin Server created
in the first node
• Bastion Node (Only for Private Subnet
configuration)

WebLogic Configuration
• Admin Server on the first Compute instance
• Managed Server(s) – separate Compute instance DB is only needed when JRF
• WebLogic cluster configuration (WLS EE and selected
Suite)

• Create Private Encryption Key • Provide Stack name • Set Encryption Key
and Public Encryption key
• Create DB instance (Optional)

5. Configure Database 4. Configure IDCS 3. Configure Network

connection (Optional) (Optional)
• Select DB instance / PDB • Set connection information of
• Configure connection network IDCS instance
• Set Client Secret
• Set Redirect Port
• VCN/Subnet or Create New
• Configure Load Balancer

WebLogic for OCI: Reference Architecture

§ WLS Configurations spanning the entire Application Lifecycle (Dev / Test / Prod)

§ Based on Oracle Validated Reference Architecture on OCI

§ Fully Supporting Java SE and Java EE APIs to build web apps, Rest services, JMS and Tx apps, …

§ Including WLS features such as:

Clustering,
integration with external databases,
WLS Administration console, (WLST), and REST management APIs.
Active GridLink for RAC (WL Suite only)
Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition (WL Suite only)

WLS for OCI provisioning

• All of the compute instances for a domain are

created in a single availability domain (AD).
• An availability domain represents a data
center within an Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure region.
• Each availability domain contains three fault
domains.
• Oracle WebLogic Server for Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure automatically distributes the
compute instances across these fault domains
for high availability.

Implement Best Practices

• Provision full-stack
• Proven Best Practices
• Validated Reference Architecture
• Choices of WebLogic and Database Version
• WebLogic : 10.3.6, 12.2.1.3, 12.2.1.4
• Database : 11g, 12c, 18c, 19c
• Use Cases
• Move your existing workload
• Upgrade WebLogic & DB
• New application development

Drift Detection

Integration with GitLab Enterprise Server

• Store configuration files in a repository,

• Enable easy code iteration
• Introduce CI/CD best practices to
infrastructure management
• Seamlessly make code changes as well as
version files, track all changes, and restore
files to previous versions
• Support to other popular source code control
system on the roadmap

Flexible and Efficient Cost Model

Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates | Confidential: Oracle Restricted

Reach Better Cost Efficiency
WebLogic for OCI: Tailoring cost model to the use case

Unique Cost Efficiency Models

BYOL: Reuse existing on-premises
WebLogic Server licenses and be billed
only for the cost of the compute
resources.

UCM: OPEX model for the cost of the

WebLogic Server licenses (based on
OCPUs per hour) in addition to the cost
of the compute resources.

Enable all Use Cases

Build multiple prod-like Dev/Test/QA
Move existing workload to OCI
Hardware refresh
Upgrade WebLogic & DB
New application development
