Compute Management
Use when launching OCI compute instances, troubleshooting out-of-capacity or boot failures, optimizing compute costs, or handling instance lifecycle. Covers shape selection, capacity planning, service limits, and production incident resolution.
Secrets Management
Use when storing credentials in OCI Vault, troubleshooting secret retrieval failures, implementing secret rotation, or setting up application authentication to Vault. Covers vault hierarchy confusion, IAM permission gotchas, cost optimization, temp file security, and audit logging.
Oracle Dba
Use when managing Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI, troubleshooting performance issues, optimizing costs, or implementing HA/DR. Covers ADB-specific gotchas, cost traps, SQL_ID debugging workflows, auto-scaling behavior, and version differences (19c/21c/23ai/26ai).
Iam Identity Management
Use when writing IAM policies, troubleshooting permission denied errors, setting up dynamic groups, or implementing IDCS integration. Covers policy syntax gotchas, principal types confusion, compartment inheritance, and common authorization failures.
Landing Zones
Use when designing multi-tenant OCI environments, setting up production landing zones, implementing compartment hierarchies, or establishing governance foundations. Covers Landing Zone reference architectures, compartment strategy, network topology patterns (hub-spoke vs multi-VCN), IAM structure, tagging standards, and cost segregation.
Monitoring Operations
Use when setting up metrics, alarms, or troubleshooting missing data in OCI Monitoring. Covers metric namespace confusion, alarm threshold gotchas, log collection setup, and common monitoring gaps.
Oci Events
Use when implementing event-driven automation, setting up CloudEvents rules, troubleshooting event delivery failures, or integrating with Functions/Streaming/Notifications. Covers event rule patterns, filter syntax, action types, dead letter queue configuration, and event-driven architecture anti-patterns.
Genai Services
Use when implementing OCI GenAI inference APIs, troubleshooting rate limits or token errors, optimizing GenAI costs, or handling sensitive data (PHI/PII) in prompts. Covers model selection, cost calculations, token management, response validation, and healthcare/compliance considerations.
Infrastructure As Code
Use when writing Terraform for OCI, troubleshooting provider errors, managing state files, or implementing Resource Manager stacks. Covers terraform-provider-oci gotchas, resource lifecycle anti-patterns, state management mistakes, authentication issues, and OCI Landing Zones.
