Access Resources
Learn how to access the administration console, Jenkins, and the Verrazzano consoles using the tools provided with Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.
Access the Administration Instance
Access the administration compute instance for a Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.
From the administration compute instance, you can access the shared file
system at /u01/shared
. It also includes the following software:
kubectl
- Deploy and manage pods in the Kubernetes cluster for this stack.docker
- Download, modify and update container images in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry. Use thelogin
command to connect to the registry.oci
- View, create and update resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
This compute instance is on a private subnet and cannot be directly accessed from the public Internet. You can use the bastion instance, which is on a public subnet, and the proxy option of a secure shell (SSH) utility.
Access the Jenkins Console
Access the Jenkins build engine for a stack in which you configured Verrazzano with Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.
Jenkins runs as a pod in the Kubernetes cluster and is hosted on the Verrazzano's private load balancer. This load balancer cannot be directly accessed from the public Internet. Jenkins is and can be accessed through socks proxy securely.
Access the Verrazzano Consoles
Access the Verrazzano consoles for a stack in which you configured Verrazzano with Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.
Verrazzano installs several consoles. To access these consoles:
Access the WebLogic Console
Access the WebLogic Server Administration Console for a domain that you created with Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE with Verrazzano.
Note:
- Before you access the WebLogic console, you must have created a WebLogic domain. See Create a WebLogic Domain.
- Do not use the WebLogic console to make any configuration changes. All configuration changes should be should done through jobs, this ensure that the changes are persistent.
- Security check warnings are displayed at the top of the console. See About the Security Checkup Tool for the warnings and how to handle them.
You must have installed OCI CLI and kubectl
in your
local computer. If you do not have them installed, see Install CLI and Install kubectl.
Note:
The following instructions are applicable only if your local computer has access to the Kubernetes API endpoint.
