This document discusses running SOA in the cloud using Oracle SOA Cloud Service (SOA CS). It provides an overview of Oracle integration products and SOA platform approaches. It then discusses use cases for SOA CS, including a hybrid on-premises and cloud approach, lifting and shifting apps like EBS to the cloud, handling complex integrations, and using SOA CS for B2B integrations. It also briefly discusses Developer Cloud Service and provides final thoughts on SOA CS and the long-term direction of Oracle integration platforms.

RECAP: INTEGRATION CLOUD SERVICE
• Modern “born in the cloud” integration service
• Designed for:
– cloud-to-cloud integrations
– citizen developers
– recommendations engine
• Pre-built adapters, e.g. Oracle cloud apps, Salesforce, etc (40+?)
• Extensible via adapter SDK & Cloud Marketplace
• Now has orchestrations
• Connections based pricing model (OIC now priced by OCPU)

RECAP: WHAT IS SOA CLOUD SERVICE?
• Same SOA product that runs on-premises (though releases lag a little)
• A SOA instance includes:
– Optional (recommended) load balancer (Oracle Traffic Director)
– One or more SOA Managed Servers in a cluster
– SOA Admin Server (on first host)
• Pre-requisites
– Database Cloud Service (Standard, Enterprise, High Performance etc)
– Storage
• Highly recommended
– VPN
– IaaS e.g. for provisioning

SOA CLOUD SERVICE: SOA FEATURE AVAILABILITY
• Core SOA & OSB
– including REST support
– Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS)
• Managed Files (MFT)
• Business Insight
• (12.2) Continuous Availability, e.g. circuit breaker
• Technology Adapters
• B2B Adapters (EDI, others?)

STRONG USE CASES FOR SOA CS
• You have on-prem SOA with some cloud integrations
– Hybrid SOA + SOACS as path to cloud
– Strong in-house skills
• Lift and shift EBS to cloud with existing SOA
– Probably doesn’t make sense to leave SOA on-prem
– Doesn’t make sense to provision SOA on IaaS, instead of SOA CS
(check the latest “lift and shift” options for EBS to IaaS though)
• Have more complex integrations
• Need to deploy ASAP to get business benefits soon
• Have B2B requirements

26. Copyright © 2017, eProseed UK Ltd
FINAL THOUGHTS
• SOA Suite is a mature & sophisticated product that meets
many integration needs today
• SOA CS offers a pre-provisioned SOA in the cloud configured
according to many good practices – you manage the
app/platform similar to on-premises. Oracle looks after the
infrastructure.
• SOA CS has been available since end 2015, built on top of JCS
& DBCS so is mature (by cloud standards)
• SOA CS has integrations with DevCS, ICS/OIC and other cloud
services
• The long-term direction of integration is Oracle Integration
Cloud (broadly, there may be exceptions like B2B) so that
should be the preferred choice where possible

SOA CS has
some valuable
use cases
