Finally …

The Book is alive

For the first time the book which is dicussed critcal security issues such as database threats, and how to void them, the book also include advance topics about Oracle internet directory, Oracle access manager and how to implement full cycle single sign on,

Focus on the security aspects of designing, building, and maintaining a secure Oracle Database application. Starting with data encryption, you will learn to work with transparent data, back-up, and networks. You will then go through the key principles of audits, where you will get to know more about identity preservation, policies and fine-grained audits. Moving on to virtual private databases, you’ll set up and configure a VPD to work in concert with other security features in Oracle, followed by tips on managing configuration drift, profiles, and default users.

What You Will Learn:-

Work with Oracle Internet Directory using the command-line and the console.
Integrate Oracle Access Manager with different applications.
Work with the Oracle Identity Manager console and connectors, while creating your own custom one.
Troubleshooting issues with OID, OAM, and OID.
Dive deep into file system and network security concepts.
First time chapter that include most of the critical database threats in real life.

I will try to cover the Docker basics in different posts to allow people and reader understand more about this tools, also i will provide reference in each of the posts in case you need more information:-

Set up your Docker environment
Build an image and run it as one container
Scale your app to run multiple containers
Distribute your app across a cluster
Stack services by adding a backend database
Deploy your app to production

Docker Concept:-

To Understand docker more you can imagine or can been seen as computer inside your current computer, the most cool thing about docker is that you will not even feel that there is another computer running inside your computer and share the same resource of your computer, include to that if you friend ask for the same container all you have to do is send it to them and they will have the same output for anything running at this container.

Why Should i use docker when there are similar solution :-

Very simple to configure.

Docker provides this same capability without the overhead of a virtual machine

Code management

Docker provides a consistent environment for the application from dev through production, easing the code development and deployment pipeline.

App Isolation.
Server Consolidation.

There is more than these reasons to use docker but i choose to mentioned the one i used docker for, since it will be more reliable and trusted to share something i already done it and used it before.

Basic Vocabulary that you should understand before using Docker:-

Container Vs Image

This is very common question to people who using docker what is the difference between container and image ? so the answer is very simple, Container is running the image but not vice versa, so the container is launched by running an image, and the image is group of executable package that include everything you can imagine to run the application such as libraries, code, .. etc.

Containers vs Virtual Machine

i mentioned earlier that containers/Docker could computer inside your computer which means it’s running on your operating system without any third party solution or client, and share the same resource of your PC, runs a discrete process, taking no more memory than any other executable, making it lightweight.
VM it’s totally different solution which is could be installed in two different way, the first one installed client that control the Server resource using another software such as VMware and ESXI, or the native way for example vmware workstation that installed on the guest PC.

First example on Docker

install Docker, Docker could be installed on different operating system distribution you can check here

Yum install docker-engine
service docker start

to check the current version of docker

docker –version

[oracle@dockertest ~]$ docker –version
Docker version 1.6.1, build a8a31ef/1.6.1
[oracle@dockertest ~]$

if you need more information about docker that installed on your system.

Need to test if your installation is correct without any issue.

The last useful command which listing your image, the image as i already mentioned is executable package to run your code and each image having different executable file depends on your docker purpose.

The first command listing all the images under your machine, the second one List the hello-world image that was downloaded to your machine.

Cheers
i will update you with part 2 soon.
