About TimesTen Database for OKE

TimesTen and the TimesTen Operator are available for deployment in a pre-existing OKE cluster for managed nodes as a set of stack listings in Oracle Cloud Marketplace:

  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory System of Record for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-Arm

  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory System of Record for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-x86

  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Application Cache for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-Arm

  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Application Cache for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-x86

After launching one of the stacks available, you use a simple wizard interface to configure the stack along with any supporting resources, such as the pre-existing OKE and network resources.

The TimesTen listings in Marketplace support these billing options:

  • Universal Credits (UCM), where you are billed for the cost of the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database license (based on the use case). The cost of the VMs running the TimesTen node pool, in addition to the cost of the compute resources, is billed separately. The stack listings mentioned above use this option and are covered in this guide.

    Note:

    From this point forward, this set of stack listings is referred as Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine (TimesTen Database for OKE) if the information provided pertains to all stack listings in the set.

  • Bring Your Own License (BYOL), which allows you to reuse your existing on-premises Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database license in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database for Kubernetes - BYOL container listing uses this option. See Using Oracle Cloud Marketplace to Obtain a TimesTen Container Image (BYOL).

TimesTen Database for OKE supports these architectures:

  • Arm

  • x86

TimesTen Database for OKE supports these use cases:

  • System of record: Use the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory System of Record for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-Arm or Oracle TimesTen In-Memory System of Record for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-x86 stack listing to set up standalone TimesTen databases in a OKE cluster. You can configure the TimesTen databases in either a replicated active standby pair configuration or a non-replicated configuration. See Deploy the TimesTen Operator and Create TimesTen Databases.

  • Caching data from an Oracle Database: Use the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Application Cache for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-Arm or Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Application Cache for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Kubernetes Engine-x86 stack listing to set up TimesTen databases to act as an independent cache in a OKE cluster for an Oracle database. The TimesTen database provides support for read-only or read-write transactions in its operation as an independent cache. You can configure the TimesTen databases in either a replicated active standby pair configuration or a non-replicated configuration. See Deploy the TimesTen Operator and Cache Data from an Oracle Database.

    Note:

    The license included with these stack listings is intended only for use cases that involve TimesTen caching data from an Oracle Database. The deployed TimesTen architecture must have at least one table that has a caching relationship with data in an Oracle Database.
