Look beyond automation
Before we can create any resources, we need to have a place to create those resources. In this case, we’re using OCI as our incubator, so obviously, we need to add OCI to our OLAM instance. In order to do this, we need to create credentials to allow OLAM to access OCI. This doesn’t stop at OCI. OLAM is your doorway into hybrid cloud solutions. You can deploy on-premises solutions through virtualization fabrics and HCI solutions such as VxRail, VMware, and OpenStack. We won’t be covering hybrid cloud solutions in this recipe, although we did cover hybrid cloud in past recipes, such as migrating a virtual machine as a template into OCI or uploading an image to create an AMI image in AWS. These techniques can also be used in hybrid cloud scenarios, working with and moving workloads’ ingress and egress to cloud service providers (CSPs). As you can see, the possibilities are there, and they are endless.
