Reference Architecture
Describes a specific use case having a vetted architecture, design recommendations, and sometimes deployment automation or code.
Reference architectures are:
- Concise: Short, one-page documents, designed to help you get started and take full advantage of Oracle Cloud
- Cross Product: Explains cross-product architectures to help you design, implement, and deploy topologies
- Deployable: Reference architectures can include any of the following:
- GitHub code samples
- Terraform or other deployment content on GitHub
- A Deploy to Oracle Cloud button to directly deploy Terraform in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Resource Manager
- A Go to GitHub button to open the GitHub repo with scripts and readme information
- A Deploy from Marketplace button to install an application from Oracle Cloud Marketplace
The following are some example reference architectures:
- Set up a hub-and-spoke network topology using dynamic routing gateway
- Optimize asynchronous workflows by integrating OCI Queue with OCI Functions

Solution Playbook
Describes architectural patterns and detailed implementation steps to solve your business problem.
A solution playbook begins with an overview of the end-to-end solution for a cross-product deployment. It may include prerequisite knowledge or configurations required before you begin using the solution. Solution playbooks can include one or more architecture diagrams that describe a topology and recommended design patterns. They can also include step-by-step instructions leading to a deployment.
Solution playbooks are:
- Targeted: Helps you achieve specific business goals tailored to your organizational requirements
- Cross Product: Provides recommendations on how to use multiple products and services required to solve the business problem
- Deployable: Solution playbooks can include any of the following:
- GitHub code samples
- Terraform or other deployment content on GitHub
- A Deploy to Oracle Cloud button to deploy Terraform directly in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Resource Manager
- A Go to GitHub button to open the GitHub repo with scripts and readme information
- A Deploy from Marketplace button to install an application from Oracle Cloud Marketplace
The Architecture Center includes two types of solution playbooks:
- Design Playbook: Explains the concepts and choices to help you make informed decisions to address your business problems. Some may include decision trees or workflows.
- Implementation Playbook: Provides step-by-step instructions to implement an architecture pattern or a recommended solution. A pattern may also provide alternative architecture choices or code samples, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your business needs. It can also have a call-to-action button such as Go to Github that allows you to deploy the code automatically.
The following are some example design playbooks:
- Learn about options for connecting devices to Oracle Internet of Things applications
- Rapid and scalable deployment of Oracle Communications Session Border Controller on OCI
The following are some example implementation playbooks:
- Import workloads to Oracle Private Cloud Appliance
- Import file-based data to Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning
Go to www.oracle.com/solution-playbooks to see all Solution Playbooks.
Deployable or Sample Code
You can deploy the architecture or solution using the downloadable code as described in the Deploy section. The following are the three possible call-to-action buttons included in our content:
- Deploy to Oracle Cloud: Pulls the code from OCI Resource Manager, creates the stack, and deploys it in your Oracle Cloud account.
- Deploy from Marketplace: Provides a link to install the application from Oracle Cloud Marketplace.
- Go to GitHub: Directs you to the GitHub repository so that you can download
code samples, sample data, or deployment templates such as Terraform code. The
README
file provides additional information about how to implement the solution or reference architecture.
Tip:
Deploying on OCI requires an account. Sign up for Free Tier if you don't have an account.The following are some examples including these features:
- Example of Deploy to Oracle Cloud button and Go to GitHub buttons: Deploy a highly available web application
- Example of Deploy from Marketplace: Set up a new OCI tenancy and create a Secure Desktops pool
Built and Deployed
The following are some examples of built and deployed content:
- SymetryML: Deploy a predictive, federated healthcare analytics platform on Oracle Cloud
- In.Live: Deploy a live streaming and video-on-demand (VOD) platform on Oracle Cloud
Go to www.oracle.com/builtanddeployed to see all Built and Deployed content.
Best Practices
Provide key considerations, tips and tricks, workarounds, troubleshooting advice, or prerequisites to support a specific goal.
Best practices are explained sequentially for a specific goal or integration type and organized as a handbook or a reference manual. Best practices enable you to do the following:
- Define what a solution means for you and your business
- Make informed choices while selecting your integration solutions
- Plan your integration based on your resources and impact to revenue
- Build secure and resilient code with robust source control mechanisms
The following are examples of best practices content:
