To auto-scale Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Oracle Application Express (APEX), and Autonomous Database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), you need to configure scaling policies and monitor resource usage. Here's a step-by-step guide for setting up auto-scaling and checking billing based on autoscaling:
Step 1: Auto-Scaling Autonomous Database
Access OCI Console:
Log in to the OCI Console.
Navigate to Autonomous Database:
Go to "Autonomous Database" under "Databases".
Select Your Autonomous Database Instance:
Click on the instance you want to configure auto-scaling for.
Enable Auto-Scaling:
In the "Database" details page, find the "Scaling" section.
Toggle the "Auto Scaling" option to enable it.
Save the changes.
Step 2: Auto-Scaling Oracle APEX
Oracle APEX runs on Autonomous Database, so enabling auto-scaling for the Autonomous Database instance will automatically scale resources for APEX as well. Follow the steps in Step 1 to enable auto-scaling for the Autonomous Database instance that hosts your APEX application.
Step 3: Auto-Scaling Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)
Auto-scaling for ODI on OCI is typically managed by configuring the underlying compute resources to scale based on demand. Here's how you can set it up:
Access OCI Console:
Log in to the OCI Console.
Navigate to Compute Instances:
Go to "Compute" and select "Instances".
Select Your ODI Compute Instance:
Click on the compute instance running ODI.
Configure Instance Pool for Auto-Scaling:
To auto-scale the compute instance, it's best to use an instance pool. Go to "Instance Pools" under "Compute".
Click "Create Instance Pool".
Provide necessary details like name, instance configuration, and initial size.
Set Up Auto-Scaling Policy:
Under the instance pool details, find the "Auto-Scaling" section.
Click "Create Auto-Scaling Configuration".
Define the auto-scaling policy, specifying the minimum and maximum number of instances and the scaling rules (e.g., based on CPU utilization).
Step 4: Check Billing Based on Auto-Scaling
Navigate to Billing and Cost Management:
In the OCI Console, go to the menu and select "Billing & Cost Management".
View Cost Analysis:
Click on "Cost Analysis".
Use filters to view costs by service (e.g., Autonomous Database, Compute) and time period.
Monitor Auto-Scaling Costs:
Look for the cost impact of auto-scaling by analyzing the resource usage patterns.
Use the "Service" filter to isolate costs associated with Autonomous Database, Compute instances, and other services that were scaled.
Set Budgets and Alerts:
To manage and monitor costs effectively, set budgets and configure alerts.
In the "Budgets" section, click "Create Budget".
Define the budget amount and the services it applies to.
Set up alerts to notify you when the spending approaches or exceeds the budget.
Step 5: Monitor Auto-Scaling
Monitor Autonomous Database Scaling:
In the Autonomous Database details page, check the "Service Console" for performance metrics.
Review the "Activity" and "Service Health" sections to see how the database scales in response to load.
Monitor Compute Instance Pool Scaling:
In the instance pool details page, review the "Scaling Activity" to see when and why instances were added or removed.
Use OCI Monitoring to set up custom metrics and alarms to track resource utilization and scaling events.
Step 6: Adjust Scaling Policies as Needed
Review Performance and Costs Regularly:
Regularly review the performance metrics and cost analysis to ensure that auto-scaling policies are effective and cost-efficient.
Adjust Policies:
Based on the review, adjust the scaling policies to optimize performance and control costs.
Update the auto-scaling configuration to better align with the application's workload patterns.
By following these steps, you can effectively configure auto-scaling for Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle APEX, and Autonomous Database on OCI, and monitor the billing impact of these configurations.
