Summary
In this chapter, you learned the various way of managing resources in OCI other than using the Console. OCI's API-first strategy is excellent in that all the other developer tools can utilize its benefits and produce various other ways to interact with resources such as the OCI CLI, Cloud Shell, SDKs, and REST API. You learned how to use the OCI CLI to create and delete resources not only from your local workstation, but also using Cloud Shell. The various programming languages on offer give you the ability to choose your preferred option and automate operations using code. Finally, the REST API offers an intuitive, easy, robust and at the same time secure way of interacting with the API endpoint.
In the next chapter, you will see how you can use a VMware solution and craft a hybrid cloud solution.
