What is Docker?
• A software container platform
• Originated from Linux / Linux Containers
– Also available on Windows and Mac OS X
• Part of the Linux Open Container Initiative (OCI)
– Part of Open Source Linux
• Editions:
– Commercial Edition (EE) – Sold by Docker Corp
– Community Edition (CE) – Part of Open Source Linux

What is Docker?
• docker-engine: The engine running containers
• Images: Collection of software to be run as a container
• Containers: A container on the Linux host
• Registry: Place to store and download images
• Volumes: Place to persist data outside the container
Terminology

What is Docker?
• Containers are non-persistent
– Once a container is deleted, all files inside that container are gone
• Images are immutable
– Changes to an image require to build a new image
– Data to be persisted has to be stored in volumes
• Containers are spun up from images
Concepts

Docker Key Components
Source: https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/
• Registry
• Images
• Containers
• Docker
daemon/engine

Why is Docker cool?
• Abstracts virtual environment (container) creation
into simple steps:
– docker create …
– docker run …
– docker rm …
• Runs directly on the Linux kernel (cgroups)
– Avoids the hypervisor overhead

Docker Use Cases
15

Oracle Database on Docker
• Oracle Database is fully supported on Docker
– Oracle Linux 7 - UEK 4
– Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
• Oracle images on Oracle Container Registry & Docker Store
• Docker build files on GitHub
• RAC support for dev/test only

Why RAC on Docker ?
•Single orchestration interface
–Setup RAC just like you would setup software XYZ
•Rapid deployment & management
•Lots of interest
–Internal development orgs
•Testing Team
•Exadata Team
–Customers embracing containers (micro services)
•Customers want to test on RAC using the same Database stack as in production
•Customers want to deploy production on RAC for availability
17

RAC on Docker use cases
•Easy deployment of RAC test/dev environment on a single or multiple host
•Consolidation with lower overhead than VMs
–Share a single kernel and application libraries
–lower system overhead and performance
–Isolation between database instances
•Agility and portability of instances across physical hosts
•Fast prototyping
–A virtual machine could take up several minutes to create and launch whereas a container
can be created and launched just in a few seconds.
–Patching, pre-build images, RAC rolling fashion for GI/RDBMS
18

Docker Use Cases for Exadata
• Host Oracle Applications
– Segregated environment for Oracle Apps like Oracle R, Audit Vault
– Cloud tooling agents can be also installed in a container making updates
simpler
• Containerize agents and ISV apps
– Customers deploy various agents that get affected by DB node upgrades
– Agents and ISV apps that are not compatible with the default OL version
• Support database releases for Test and Dev
– Customers can deploy new database releases such as Database 18.1 for test
and dev
– Customers can spin up database containers for rapid provisioning of
test/dev
19

Exadata Setup for Docker
• Docker available on Exadata since Exadata System
Software Release 18.1
– Recommend Exadata 19.1 with OL7
• Service is turned off by default
• Can be easily turned on: systemctl enable docker
[root@adczardb02 docker]# systemctl enable docker
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-
user.target.wants/docker.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service.

Exadata Setup for Docker
• Next install git on Exadata database server: yum install git
21

Setting up Oracle Database in a Docker container on Exadata
• Get the latest Oracle projects from github
• Use the install script in the Database projects to setup a
Database image
• The script downloads the Linux image from docker.io and
installs the database home in the image
• Image will work with DBCA and sets up the Listener as well
• ORCL database processes are now running on the host
22

• Download the latest Oracle docker image from github:
23

• Download the latest Oracle Projects from github:
24

25
• Build the Docker image next
