Oracle Cloud MySQL Setup: A Practical OCI Guide

Jun 26, 2026    Mariusz Antonik    Automation    5 min read

Setting up MySQL on Oracle Cloud is not just a console walkthrough; the network, access model, and backup choices decide how reliable the system will be later. This guide walks through the practical OCI decisions behind a clean MySQL DB system setup. You will learn how to plan the VCN, subnet, security rules, backups, and validation checks before the database supports real application traffic. It is written for builders who want a clear implementation path without skipping the operational details that matter.

OCI MySQL HeatWave Setup Checklist for Small Teams

Jun 22, 2026    Mariusz Antonik    Database    6 min read

A clean OCI MySQL HeatWave setup starts before the database is created. This checklist helps small teams plan the network, access rules, backups, users, and operational checks that make the deployment easier to maintain. Use it before launch to avoid common mistakes like public database exposure, unclear ownership, or backups that have never been tested. The goal is a practical production-ready setup, not just a working demo.
