services such as Web Services, Forms Services, Java Application Services & Concurrent

Security is one of the important aspect for any application and for Securing EBS on OCI there
are many options at each level. Few of them here :

Bastion Host at ssh level – No direct access to the server from public/private network
SSL Certificates – Running and accessing application at secure layer.

IAM - Authentication, Authorization, and Tools to help you organize and control access to
resources according to organizational hierarchy

IDCS – SSO setup for Applications using Integration via IDCS with Asserter or OAM
Key Management – For Storage, Load Balancer etc managing with custom or Oracle generat-
ed Keys.

07. High Availability & Disaster Recovery

One of the important question for any organization is, what will happen to the business if
disaster happens or load increases? Is single point of failure, well covered in the architecture
design? If user base or data volume increases, will it be well taken care and sustained?

This is where HA and DR aspect comes. Designing within region or across region? How
Database and Application Scalability is done and what are its limitations, you need to learn all
this.
