Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed “Error processing transaction”

Especially, since December 2020 I started to face some problems on the step where you must provide a credit card to simulate a payment but in fact, it works like a personal identification. So I have used the same card that I used previously in some setups, two other new cards and even asked some friends in different countries using their own cards and some of them have experienced the same erros while others could create their account successfully.

Example of how to use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Gen 2 with Terraform – MacBook Pro OS – part 1

Terraform is becoming more and more relevant in DBA’s activities. Therefore, I decided to start a series of articles where I will be covering the use of Terraform with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from the scratch. It is important to mention that both Oracle Infrastructure and Terraform has been evolving daily and modifications on the steps can arise after a while.

Oracle Database 19c doesn’t support OL6 – /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14′ not

One of the pre-requisite before installing any database software is to check if the platform that you are going to install your database in is supported by that platform.

So, recently I tried to download the ISO Oracle V41362-01.iso which is the “Oracle Linux (6.5.0.0.0) for x86 64 bit”.
