Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer Professional: Hands-on Workshop — Lesson 1: OCI Developer Environment, SDKs, IAM, APIs, and Cloud-Native Design

Learning Objectives

• Explain the purpose and operating context of OCI CLI, SDKs, Cloud Shell, configuration profiles, and signing.
• Apply dynamic groups, resource principals, policies, secrets, and least privilege and API design, API Gateway deployments, routes, validation, and throttling in a controlled environment.
• Validate outcomes and troubleshoot risks involving service boundaries, twelve-factor practices, configuration, and evidence.

Detailed Topics

• OCI CLI, SDKs, Cloud Shell, configuration profiles, and signing
• dynamic groups, resource principals, policies, secrets, and least privilege
• API design, API Gateway deployments, routes, validation, and throttling
• service boundaries, twelve-factor practices, configuration, and evidence

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate OCI CLI, SDKs, Cloud Shell, configuration profiles, and signing for an event-driven order application implemented and deployed through OCI developer services; capture the exact configuration, code, command, transaction, query, dashboard, model, schedule, or report evidence that proves the expected result.

Hands-On Exercise

Complete a controlled Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer Professional: Hands-on Workshop exercise covering dynamic groups, resource principals, policies, secrets, and least privilege and API design, API Gateway deployments, routes, validation, and throttling; introduce an exception involving service boundaries, twelve-factor practices, configuration, and evidence, diagnose it from evidence, apply the smallest reversible correction, and rerun acceptance checks.

1. Confirm scope, prerequisites, identities, dependencies, data, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Perform the course-specific configuration, development, administration, analysis, or business-process workflow.
3. Capture commands, settings, records, logs, screenshots, reports, metrics, or test results.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and document corrective or preventive action.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the technical or business decision and the stakeholders affected by it.
• Compare security, performance, reliability, compliance, cost, usability, and support trade-offs.
• Define rollback, recovery, communication, evidence, ownership, and escalation requirements.

Troubleshooting Guidance

Diagnose issues involving OCI CLI, SDKs, Cloud Shell, configuration profiles, and signing, dynamic groups, resource principals, policies, secrets, and least privilege, API design, API Gateway deployments, routes, validation, and throttling, service boundaries, twelve-factor practices, configuration, and evidence without making an unverified production change. Separate symptoms from causes, gather time-correlated evidence, test a reversible hypothesis, validate the correction, and record recurrence controls.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, environment, inputs, dependencies, and expected result are documented.
• The result is reproducible and supported by product-specific evidence.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, performance, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• Exceptions, rollback, ownership, support actions, and the next improvement priority are recorded.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can apply OCI Developer Environment, SDKs, IAM, APIs, and Cloud-Native Design in a realistic Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Developer Professional: Hands-on Workshop scenario and defend the result with documented evidence.
