In-Depth Information
To accommodate various cloud services (DBaaS, MWaaS, or IaaS), Oracle Enterprise Manager supports rich
resource models for the cloud—right from applications to disks in storage infrastructure, for both physical and
virtualized infrastructure. You can create zones that are logical groupings of a set of resources required for services
provided by the cloud infrastructure. For example, a MWaaS user can worry only about middleware zones or domains
and not worry about the underlying infrastructure. You could set up zones based on organizational structure, region,
or whatever criteria enterprises choose when using the Self Service portal of Oracle Enterprise Manager. EM12c
supports bare-metal provisioning of hypervisors and operating systems. During the cloud setup process, Enterprise
Manager can also help integration with best-of-breed networking and storage technologies from vendors such as F5
Networks, NetApp, Hitachi, and Fujitsu. Let's walk through the IaaS setup process.
You start setting up the IaaS cloud by selecting the machine sizes. As shown in Figure
5-4
, you could also add a
custom machine size to meet your business needs and select that for your cloud.
Figure 5-4.
Adding a custom machine size
After you select the machine size, you can define the settings for infrastructure requests for the IaaS users. As you
can see in Figure
5-5
, you can indicate whether someone can reserve the cloud resources, how long the resource can
be requested, whether the management agent should be configured, and more.
