SOUG Day 2019 – Oracle Database in Docker

Today I did have the opportunity to give a presentation on Oracle Database in Docker at the SOUG day in Olten. It was a great opportunity to discuss how Oracle database engineering can be simplified using Docker.

Besides the demo the following topics were discussed:

  • Docker images, container and volumes
  • Requirements to setup Oracle database image
  • Build an Oracle database image
  • Discuss the Dockerfile and build scripts
  • Create database containers
  • Use cases for Oracle database in Docker
  • Demo setup Oracle database with Enterprise User Security and Oracle Unified Directory

Combining docker-compose and custom initialisation scripts allow a various number of use cases for Oracle database in Docker. Rapid deployment of Oracle databases for engineering and testing. But is it also suitable for production environments?
