The message is clear: Oracle wants developers to know that it has been listening, and that it currently has the tools and processes in place to assist them in managing their data. Many of the heavy-lifting tasks associated with data analytics are already managed by Oracle tools, leaving developers free to be creative with the data results.

Siddhartha Agarwal, VP of Product Management and Strategy, Oracle Cloud Platform, at Oracle, joined Peter Burris (@plburris) and John Furrier (@furrier), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, to discuss how Oracle is supporting developers in managing the vast amounts of data that are being generated daily.

Oracle: Developer-friendly

The discussion opened up around Oracle Cloud platform and how it’s known to be a developer-friendly environment.

“We want to get developers excited to build the next generation on the cloud … not just Oracle; SQL, MySQL containers, bare-metal, [using] an open standard,” said Agarwal. He stressed that Oracle Cloud is an open, modern and easy platform to build on and that Oracle allows automatic scalability, especially for mobile apps and product distribution.

The tools developers need, right now

One of the main data concerns is managing containers. “Containers are not that easy … the orchestration technology is changing very rapidly. There’s a stack of three or four technologies, that’s changing,” Agarwal said. “We are giving you container as a service; you can bring them as-is to the Oracle public cloud. … We take care of container management, so you can just use the environment as a developer.”

Oracle’s Container Cloud Service delivers comprehensive tooling to compose, deploy, orchestrate and manage Docker container-based applications for dev, dev/test, DevOps, and cloud-native use cases. There’s no need for developers to worry about putting together tools; they are plug-and-play ready right now, according to Agarwal.
